look down on me

 

so here I am all alone at last

we didn’t know we’d have to leave so fast

I wonder if you can see me now

maybe you can hear my voice somehow

 

the doctors know how to string you along

everything they said turned out to be wrong

made us think that they had the answer

but nothing that they tried ever stopped the cancer

 

I hope that you’re in heaven

and I’m trying to believe

but if you’re really up there

please don’t look down on me

 

I hope you’re doing all the things I said

I left a spare blanket underneath your bed

I’ll hide the laundry and I’ll wave your flag

but living your life would be such a drag

 

I know you better since you’re not around

were you surprised by the things you found?

well everybody’s got another side

and certain things that they try to hide

 

 

you better have realistic dreams

the future’s not as long as it seems

it’s hard enough trying to carry on

without your love here to keep me strong

 

what do you think -- what can i say

I’m the one who’s got to live today

no one’s gonna fight your war when you’re gone

once you’re in the ground, you’re gonna get walked on

no one’s gonna fight your war when you’re gone

once you’re in the ground, you’re gonna get walked on

 

I hope that you’re in heaven

and you like the things you see

but if you’re really up there

please don’t look down on me
