[Verse 1]

Yeah

Wanna talk keeping it real?

On the real, let’s be real, this as real as it gets (As it gets)

The fear that we feel

Every breath that we steal, while we here in the flesh

Tryna strike a deal

As I fall to my knees and I kneel and I beg

My desperate appeal

Saying please, let it be me instead

Heart racing, I can’t take it

Wishing I could get back the time wasted

Days that came and went, spent waiting

Finally understanding why the doctors call them patients

Till I looked it up only to discover

The origin is Latin, the meaning? The one who suffers

Tomorrow can’t come soon enough

We are only human, time to show our truest colours

And I would give anything I have, you can have it all back

If I could just turn back time and never have to get that call

Never have to learn the hard way how strong you are

Or be in awe watching your tiny frame standing up so tall

But it can take its toll on even the bravest soul

It’s hardest to accept what’s out of our control

We play the hand we hold and we won’t ever fold

The moral of our story when it’s told


[Chorus]

How something could be so unfair?

I ask myself why

It feels like there’s no one there

When I look up to the sky

Won’t anybody hear my prayer?

Oh, left behind, I am searching for a sign

That you’ll be by my side


[Post-Chorus]

I just wish there was something I could say

That’d make it all okay, that could take the pain away, no

Problem is that there’s something in the way

Yeah, there’s something in the way, yeah, there’s something in the way, no

I just wish there was something I could say

That’d give you back today, that’d make it all okay, no

But there’s nothing I can say

Yeah, there’s nothing I can say, no


[Verse 2]

Heartbreaking, uh, I can’t take it, uh

Wishing we could get back the life taken, uh

The ray of light you’d shine was so sacred

Now we’re lost, at a loss trying to explain it

But through the pain, we must try and remember

That nothing lasts forever is what binds us all together

Still, tomorrow seems so far away

How we’re gonna make it through it’s hard to say, but all I know’s that

The brother of my other brother is my brother

When he suffers then he suffers, so I suffer

Feel his heart break in my chest for his mother

Tryna find the words I stammer, and I stutter, struck dumb

Underneath the lightning and thunder

Holding onto one another, we huddle for dry cover (Dry cover)

Standing in the eye of the storm

Not our final form but for now this is our norm, we saying


[Chorus]

How something could be so unfair?

I ask myself why

It feels like there’s no one there

When I look up to the sky

Won’t anybody hear my prayer?

Oh, left behind, I am searching for a sign

That you’ll be by my side


[Outro]

And after everything we’ve been through

'Thing we’ve been through, 'thing we’ve been through

You should know by now I need you

Now I need you, now I need you

Just know I won’t ever leave you

Ever leave you, ever leave you

Won’t ever leave you high and dry

Yeah

And after everything we’ve been through

(After everything we’ve been through)

You should know by now I need you

(Said, you should know by now I need you)

Just know one day I will see you

(Just know one day, just know one day)

I’ll see you on the other side, yeah
