I'll Come Home

I woke up this morning,
And my heart broke in two,
It's regular routine now,
If only my life was through,

There's so many if only's,
I think of them everyday,
Like if only my dad could be here,
If only he didn't have to go away,

I know it wasn't his fault though,
He did everything he could,
He tried to fight the killer disease,
But the truth was in the mud,

I knew cancer was a killer,
I'd seen it all before,
But it never seemed to cross my mind,
That it could happen just once more,

How could it happen to a man so young,
A man i called dad,
He was such a brilliant and wonderful man,
If only his life he still had,

I go out every weekend,
And get as drunk as can be,
Because at least then if i get that drunk,
The future i might not see,

I might not see the future,
A life of being on my own,
Life without my dad is like,
A house without a home,

There's nowhere i belong,
I live in the past,
Because at least that way,
The memories of my dad will last,

But now I'll have to wait a while,
Until my life is through,
Then I'll come back home dad,
I'll come back home to you.
