lyrics
THE LAST WORD
by Heidi Happy
Oh brother, look at all these colours
You left here
Just by leaving quietly
I never thought that emptiness could
Be so heavy on the breaths I’m taking
AND YOU
WAS THE LAST WORD YOU SAID
AND I WON’T FORGET
WHAT IT MEANT TO YOU
TO BE THERE
WITHOUT BEING HERE WITH YOU
I still think
It’s you that I hear breathing
Now I feel
How you prepared for leaving
What felt so long
Has now no meaning
Your warmth, your smile
Stayed here for soothing
AND YOU
WAS THE LAST WORD YOU SAID
AND I WON’T FORGET
WHAT IT MEANT TO YOU
TO BE THERE
WITHOUT BEING HERE WITH YOU
