He's in a better place now

My dad, he took me out of school
he told me we had to talk
he walked me to his truck
and i when i heard the news my jaw dropped

"yea he went there on monday
cuz he had a very bad disease
and i know it'll break your heart
and no part of this goes like ease"

"he told me to tell you
he loved you with all his heart
and that he did
way back from the start"

he was the best guy
best one in the world
but he's gone and my mind
is tangled in twirls

i don't know what to think
i miss him so bad
and to know that he's gone
makes me so sad

at the wake i cried
i cried so damn bad
i didn't know what to think
in a way i was mad

i went up to him
and said a little prayer
and looked up in the sky
knowing he was there

he's in a better place now
not suffering anymore
and i left with my eyes red
looking at him through the door

i miss you grandpa.. you're gone but not forgotten
