Québécois
[Verse 1] (0:18)
I knew something was wrong immediately
Something seemed wrong in your face
I asked if it was 'the thing'
You nodded yes, and walked away
I followed you close in your tracks
A few minutes, and we looped right back
All the way around to the front
Walked to the car, loaded up the trunk
Slammed it shut, and we hopped in
Then we're off on the road again
I'd never seen you cry 'til that day
I think 'bout the family and how to explain
That how you had passed for good
How happy you were where thеy once stood
I think of that smile right on their facе
And how quick it'll all wash away

[Chorus] (0:54)
Later that day, and we were gone
All the way out in California
Spent a week with the family
Then we were off to Québec City
Some of them weren't told the truth
They hadn't known they'd lost you
I solemnly had to explain
Then had to make plans for your grave
[Post-Chorus] (1:12)
I raised you since you were a kid
It hurts so much to see you go like this
They had to pull the plug for your damages
They didn't want you to be suffering
But I remember you did it to yourself
A failed attempt, I found you myself
I got you help as best I could
If you'd survive, I didn't think you would

[Verse 2] (1:30)
Bought a ticket, now we're flying out
The Québécois don't know what this' about
We later arrive outside their house
We break the news, they fall to the ground
Pleading in agony, and crying out
Yelling to god, "why'd you do this now?"
I tear up because I feel their pain
I remember how it was, when I was in their place

[Chorus] (1:48)
Later that day, and we were gone
All the way out in California
Spent a week with the family
Then we were off to Québec City
Some of them weren't told the truth
They hadn't known they'd lost you
I solemnly had to explain
Then had to make plans for your grave
[Outro] (2:06)
