Lyrics: Georgia Stitt
Music: Georgia Stitt
all of her papers were in order;
nothing was left unsigned.
we had the hard conversations
about what she was leaving behind.
there were some moments of laughter.
she promised she wasn't scared,
but i wasn't prepared.
i wasn't prepared.
we talked to the doctors and lawyers.
i made sure her wishes were known.
we cried and we prayed together,
and then i was crying alone.
nothing compares to the silence,
erasing the life we shared.
you can't be prepared.
you can't be prepared.
everyone talks about loss
like it's part of a story —
a game we all play.
there's death and despair in the news every day.
hundreds of people who don't catch your eye-
hundreds of strangers who quietly die-
one sole companion
you never imagined would go.
but what did you know?
strange how the sun keeps on shining.
what a false message it sends.
part of the saga of living
is learning that everything ends.
she asked me to let her go quickly,
said that's what i'd do if i cared.
but i'm unprepared.
i'm so unprepared.
you're never prepared.
you're never prepared
