Lyrics: Miguel Villalta/JAY MULLER
Music: Miguel Villalta/Howard Fang/JAY MULLER/Joey Hancock
Death bed,
You should’ve taken me instead
****
In the dead of the night,
In the blink of an eye,
A light that once shined flatlined
The weight of loss is more than I can bare,
Those final moments, that blank stare
You should’ve taken me instead
The memories keep replaying in my head
(Chorus) Again and again the memories won’t fade
I’m reminded of you every single day
I won’t survive without your love
A part of me died the day you left us
This world is cold and cruel
Where good die young
And the scum rule
I am bitter
I am numb
In denial and filled with anger
Bargaining to cease the sadness
Overwhelmed with depression
No acceptance in sight
(Chorus) Again and again the memories won’t fade
I’m reminded of you every single day
I won’t survive without your love
A part of me died the day you left us
Spiraling out of sanity
Is this a fever dream or reality?
No,
This can’t be,
The ghost of you is standing in front of me
Am I losing my mind?
Or is this a blessing in disguise
Death bed,
You should’ve taken me instead
In the dead of the night,
In the blink of an eye,
A light that once shined flatlined
Visit me in my dreams,
Even if they’re nightmares,
I never got the chance to say goodbye
The weight of loss is more than I can bare
