It was two years ago
That you had to pass away
Exactly two years ago
I lost the light guiding my way

For two years that light blinked
On our tiny answering machine
Two years, too scared to listen
Afraid of the pain

It was the worst day in my life
Losing the person I've loved forever
My father, My dad
Did he deserve what he got, never

I watched him pull out on the concrete
He wanted to go on another drive
Toy Soldiers, his favorite song playing
The last song played before he died.

He was gone three days
It was nothing ever new
He'd be gone, but he'd come back
But he didn't come back soon

I learned that day
My father had passed
The pain in my heart still as sharp as ever
His life was something I was sure would last

It was today I finally pressed the little button
The button on our little machine
To hear my daddy's voice saying
I'll always love you Courtney

I'm sorry I've screwed up so much
I promise when I'm home
Everything will be alright
And from now on I'll never go

The tears stream down my face
Of a promise he was sure he would keep
But he ran out of time, the car tires screeched
I'll see him one day, the day I also sleep.
