[Verse 1: Lyricold as Charles Green Jr.]
Well I guess its safe to say I see my time has come
I hate to make you break, but hey, I'll see you soon enough
I know its hard and things are rough, but don't be sad my son
Remember back on Christmas day?
The day that I lost Mom
You were my support
You were there, I held you close
But now I'm gone, so turn to Bridgette—she's the one you need the most
But don't be sad, I know you'll think that it's impossible, but if you stop to think of all the things that I accomplished, you
Wouldn't take it hard
Michael, son, I made it far
I went from being nothing, then you turned all of our lives around
You turned me to a star
You gave me life and then a car
You got me out the trailer park and then you gave your dad a house
Don't be sad I'm gone, 'cause, son, I'm only moving on—and soon enough I'll see you at the gates; this place is beautiful
'Til then, I love you all—my son, I hope your life is full of happiness and love
I know you're strong, I'm watching all of you
[Chorus: PFV]
They say goodbye is forever
But I know its not
They say I'm gone
I'm not
I'm gonna see you soon
Goodbye; farewell
I'm gonna see you soon
Goodbye; farewell
I'm gonna see you soon
[Verse 2: Lyricold]
I really tried another verse, the purpose was to ease the burn
I feel 'cause Dad is gone, I'm mad he's not here—and it fucking hurts (fucking hurts)
I want the pain to stop
I hate this, God, it's never gone
I wake up every morning with a knot, I'm so afraid he's not
Around to hear me talk
I reach out and I beg to God to show a sign or move an object anywhere, just make it drop
I need to know he's not lost in time or stuck in thought
I thought that I could handle loss, but not when Dad is what I lost
And so I tried to jot my thoughts down on a song, just him
I lost the ones I loved the most, and so I tried to represent
Myself as him to help me cope, and so I guess I spend a minute gettin' words on paper spinnin', but it's tormentin'
The storm will slowly pass, and time relieves the pain I have
And he will always be the voice that nags me when I'm feeling sad
And if I never have another chance to have a chat
I hope you know you raised a man, and damn, I'll always love you, Dad
[Chorus: PFV]
They say goodbye is forever
But I know its not
They say I'm gone
I'm not
I'm gonna see you soon
Goodbye; farewell
I'm gonna see you soon
Goodbye; farewell
I'm gonna see you soon
[Verse 3: PFV]
How do I live, and how do I breathe?
Know it's not the end, but its all that I see
Hope that I can follow in your footsteps
Know that we were happy as it could get
'Cause I can see the sky light up now
And I know that it's you
Searching by myself just to find out
I'm never lost 'cause I got you
[Chorus: PFV]
They say goodbye is forever
But I know its not
They say I'm gone
I'm not
I'm gonna see you soon
Goodbye; farewell
I'm gonna see you soon
Goodbye; farewell
I'm gonna see you soon
