Seeing you go would kill us too.
I truly don’t know what we would do without you.
Your heart would make you go
But there is something I really want you to know

Your heart beating is what keeps us around
Without my heart would just fall through to the ground.
Dad you are what makes me keep going and learning
Please go and make things better
You gone would make us not together.

Look at you, do you want to end up dead?
And I know this is something you don’t want said
You can’t make us live in this hell
This is my story that I need to tell
Why would you want us to live with this pain?
Why would you want to go through this again?
I guess you don’t really have true strength.

Your heart beating is what keeps us around
Without my heart would just fall through to the ground.
Dad you are what makes me keep going and learning
Please go and make things better
You gone would make us not together.

Look at your past, look at your dad
Don’t you think if he saw this he wouldn’t be glad?
Think about your life, your family and friends
Don’t you think their lives would completely descend?
Look what you have in the palm of your hand
A life, a home, a wife, a child
The list would just keep going for a while
I want my kids to see my dad
See how my life was truly grand

Your heart beating is what keeps us around
Without my heart would just fall through to the ground.
Dad you are what makes me keep going and learning
Please go and make things better
You gone would make us not together.

Dad you are my world
Listen to me your little girl
I want you better
I don’t want you to be a forgetter
And to be forgotten

Your heart beating is what keeps us around
Without my heart would just fall through to the ground.
Dad you are what makes me keep going and learning
Please go and make things better
You gone would make us not together.
