Numb in the afterglow
Struggling to make sense of it all
Gone before you even came
Wondering how your life would've been
Oh, how I would have loved to know
Anything other than this feeling
Lost in the undertow
Suffering before you even began
Sometimes we're better off dead
I know you don't want to hear it
Oh, what a lesson to learn
Oh, I let it get to my head
But I will never regret
Oh, we did what needed to be done
So, this is a goodbye to the son
Cold in the morning light
Stumbling over every word
Crossing over the great divide
Wondering why I even tried
All alone in the parking lot
Hoping she's gona be alright
Driving home to an empty nest
Swallowing what I have realized
Sometimes we're better off dead
I know you don't want to hear it
Oh, when am I gona learn?
Oh, I guess it went to my head
But I will never regret
Oh, we did what needed to be done
So, this is a goodbye to the son
Numb in the afterglow
Struggling to make sense of it all
