Has it hit you yet?
That death is the one thing
Coming out of all this?
That love is the last thing
On your mind in all this?

I watched the news today
I found out my dad has died
They say I'm too young to understand
All I know is that I'm without a dad
The man who was always there for me
Who held me when I was afraid
Now I'm afraid and he's not here
And he's not going to come home

I watched the news today
I found out my husband has died
They say we rushed into things
All I know is that I lost the man I love
The man who I confessed to like a priest
Who held me when I was down
Now I'm down and he's not here
And he's not going to come home

--

I got a knock on the door today
I found out my girlfriend has died
They say I'll get over it eventually
All I know is that I lost my future wife
The woman who I was about to propose to
Who made me cry tears of happiness
Now I'm crying tears of another kind
And she's not going to come home

I saw it in the street today
I found out my son has died
He was just a child, so innocent
All I know is that he didn't deserve to die
The boy who I took care of alone
Who helped me every time I fell down
Now I've fallen deeper than ever
And he's not going to walk home

--

Has it hit you yet?
We're not the only ones suffering
That death is the worst thing
And no one will ever forget
