LiL Lotus
Burying a Parent
[Verse 1: LiL Lotus & Zubin, LiL Lotus]
Did you even stop and think for a second
Before you stopped the beat of your heart?
'Cause everyday's been hard without you
But I make it through somehow
And I swear to God I still hear your singing
To every song at your favorite part
'Cause everyday's been hard without you
But you're six feet under, can't go back now
[Chorus: LiL Lotus & Zubin, Zubin & LiL Lotus]
You're gone so long for right now
911, I need you here right now
And the worst part is nothing can bring you back
You know that I shouldn't have to bury you
Did you really have to go? Was it all that bad?
I'm so sorry
One last time, sleep well, I'll be fine
Told you over and over again
Over and over again
[Verse 2: LiL Lotus & Zubin, LiL Lotus]
Everybody said that things would get easier
But pretending is the easiest part
It's so hard to tell the difference here lately
It's so hard to tell the difference here lately
And there's so much that I wanted to say to you
But I left it on a note in the waiting room
The waiting room, the waiting room, the waiting room
[Chorus: LiL Lotus & Zubin, Zubin & LiL Lotus]
You're gone so long for right now
911, I need you here right now
And the worst part is nothing can bring you back
You know that I shouldn't have to bury you
Did you really have to go? Was it all that bad?
I'm so sorry
One last time, sleep well, I'll be fine
Told you over and over again
Over and over again
[Bridge: Zubin]
Sleep well, now I'll never see your face again
So long, oh, reality is sinking in
Flatline, can't get you off my mind
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine, I'll be—
[Breakdown: LiL Lotus]
Life is but a stopping place
A pause in-between
To sweet eternity
And now I'll never see your face again
(And it's killing me)
I hope you found your peace
[Outro: LiL Lotus & Zubin]
Now I'll never see your face again
Oh, reality is setting in
