Goodbye (Interlude) - I Prevail

It was twenty sixteen, Pittsburgh

Back of the bus when I first heard

Ma gave me the first word

Ambulance at the house, said she’s concerned

She goes to the door to investigate

Said it doesn’t look good, feel her hesitate

Medics worked and they tried to resuscitate

By the time they arrived it was too late

Was your breathing getting shallow?

Was the darkness getting darker?

While the demons that you hide from

Held you underneath the water

I’m at a loss for words but you know it

Did you make it out to mount St. Joseph?

I keep open doors that need closing

It’s done nothing but let the cold in

You know I wouldn’t mind

Coulda spent a little time

But I guess you made your mind up

Guess I’ll never know the why

Or the pain you had inside

But it really fucks me up that

You never said goodbye

You never said goodbye

You never said goodbye

(You never said, you never said)

You never said goodbye

(You never said, you never said)
