death bed, Pt. 2

(You lift me up)

(You know my name)

(You fill my cup)

(I'll never be the same)

This light of mine

I'll let it shine

'Cause you know my name

(I'll never be the same again)

It's been a while since we talked last, let's keep it real

It seems like everyone's forgotten, but you never will

This life's a rocky path that we all move along

Still putting flowers by my grave, but you don't stay as long

Friends come and go, but I ain't coming back

It took you eight months and a therapist

To finally come to terms with that

Journal every morning, every dream that you run into me

Might not hear my voice again, but I'll always be listening

So listen one last time as you read in this letter

Happiest I've ever been was when we promised forever

Honeymoon was in July, then I left in September

Know that God still has a plan, though we no longer together

(This light of mine) Light of mine

(I'll let) it shine

'Cause you know my name

It'll never be the same

You told me you couldn't keep living if I died first

I told you God will get you through it, that's how life works

Nobody knew me like you did, you could read my thoughts

You were the first to know I'm sick, you felt that something's off

It started out with a cough, but everyday it got deeper

Doctor said I'd get better, but I just kept getting weaker

All our dreams put to an end, a final kiss goodbye

Now I'll keep waiting for eternity so take your time

(You lift me up)

You know my name

You fill my cup

I'll never be the same

This light of mine

(I'll let it shine) I won't let it shine

('Cause you know my name) Oh you know my name

(I'll never be the same again)

It won't be the same but it gets easier, keep doing your best

Follow the spirit Jesus gave you, angels guiding your steps

Left a piece of me with you and you've been watching it grow

Two months until the day you bring our little girl home

Momma and daughter matching outfits, Christmas alone

Missing the feeling of me there so you still spray my cologne

Pushing your stroller through the snow, days are quick to get dark

No one to shovel out the car, so it's been staying in park

Don't feel like you're betraying me by going on dates

Single motherhood is heavy, might need help with the weight

Keep on singing to our baby, show her pictures of us

As she grows up you can tell her 'bout the man that I was

(This light of mine)

I'll let it shine

'Cause you know my name

I'll never be the same
