Every day

by katie!   Mar 1, 2005


You say you're o.k I know you're not
Tying my heart into a knot
You go to the hospital every day
To try and get the cancer to go away

I hear you in your bedroom crying
I know that you and Gran are dying
But I didn't realize it would be so soon
So I sit alone now in my room

I see the bags under your eyes
The tiredness reflecting, I so despise
What this shit is doing to you
How you're coping, And Gran too

I'm not stupid I know she called
Knowing soon she's going to fall
We will be standing dressed in black
knowing she's not coming back

Fight it mum, Fight it please
I'm begging, I'm here on my knees
Don't leave with Gran, we won't survive
What would be the point of being alive?
