Lifeless
Life taken at such a young age
We were too scared to look
Too scared to turn the page
Afraid of what came next and crippled by the fear of loss
I tried to keep it together for our family's sake
I lost it all the moment I saw your lifeless face
I'll carry that image all the way to my grave
The way you looked so cold in my arms
So much innocence taken away but the tranquil look on your face
I'll never erase
You'll never be replaced
Should have taken me instead
It's runnin through my head, it's runnin through my head
It's always runnin through my head
It should have been me instead
Wish I could pray it away
Was it worth the lesson? I couldn't force you to stay
It's runnin' through my head, it's runnin' through my head
While your ghost will remain, is it worth the lesson? I couldn't force you to stay
It should have been me instead
We held ourselves together and left it up to faith
Fooled ourselves into thinking we had what it takes to keep a straight face
To fight the urge to break when we marched you to your grave
With just a moment to process the pain you were gone
No resurrection
Lifeless
No resurrection
Lifeless
Should have taken me instead
It's runnin through my head, it's runnin through my head
It's always runnin through my head
It should have been me instead
Wish I could pray it away
Was it worth the lesson? I couldn't force you to stay
It's runnin' through my head, it's runnin' through my head
While your ghost will remain, is it worth the lesson?
I couldn't force you to stay
It should have been me instead
We were too scared to look
Too scared to turn the page
Afraid of what came next and crippled by the fear of loss
I tried to keep it together for our family's sake
I lost it all the moment I saw your lifeless face
I'll carry that image all the way to my grave
The way you looked so cold in my arms
So much innocence taken away but the tranquil look on your face
I'll never erase
You'll never be replaced
Should have taken me instead
It's runnin through my head, it's runnin through my head
It's always runnin through my head
It should have been me instead
Wish I could pray it away
Was it worth the lesson? I couldn't force you to stay
It's runnin' through my head, it's runnin' through my head
While your ghost will remain, is it worth the lesson? I couldn't force you to stay
It should have been me instead
We held ourselves together and left it up to faith
Fooled ourselves into thinking we had what it takes to keep a straight face
To fight the urge to break when we marched you to your grave
With just a moment to process the pain you were gone
No resurrection
Lifeless
No resurrection
Lifeless
Should have taken me instead
It's runnin through my head, it's runnin through my head
It's always runnin through my head
It should have been me instead
Wish I could pray it away
Was it worth the lesson? I couldn't force you to stay
It's runnin' through my head, it's runnin' through my head
While your ghost will remain, is it worth the lesson?
I couldn't force you to stay
It should have been me instead
