Neck Deep - Candour Lyrics
Yesterday saw you missing,Drawn to the light in the distanceHolding her hand while she listened,She told him how much she would miss himSaid his goodbyes to his children,And let the weight fade awayI have your hands,But I have my mother's eyesYour tact and poiseAnd her sense of wrong and rightHeard you awake in the middle of the night,Letting go of the things you keep insideWorked your fingers to the boneTo be sent home with a cardboard boxFilled with everything you've known,All things come to be loved and lostI'll keep a moment sealed in time inside a picture frame,A small reminder of the days I thought would never changeThey always say it's clear to seeHow parts of you shine through in meI think you know, you won't be here foreverAnd you're counting down the days'Til you can rest your tired eyes and let it slip awayThe lessons learned at your sideWill stay with me all my life,The man I hope to become, I know is deep down insideI know, you don't even need to say,I know you're proud in your own wayI know you're proud in your own wayAnd you watched me grow upAs I watched you grow older,The chip off your block, held me up on your shouldersI wish I told you yesterday
