The Hospital Blues You Gave To Me

I spent far too many days

Planning how to breach those gates

So I could ask them for myself

Why they had to give you wings

Or why he had to pierce your heart

Cause you had so much more to give

There were words I needed badly to get off my tongue

But your body was a shell of all the things I’d grown to love

Scattered ashes and I shattered into glass-like shards of misery, I was young

I took the blame for things I could’ve done

And I’m sorry I don’t visit all the time

I left you flowers but I can’t bear to see them die

I still think about you every time the sun shines when it rains

How the colours stretch across the sky, how I’ll never be the same

I am sorry that you couldn’t see me grow into the man I am today

I still miss you, I still miss you, I still miss you every day

They better have had the angels lead you in

Because I still can’t hear that Jimmy song without your harmonies slipping in

And I’m sorry that they took your spark away

I left you flowers, but I won’t stay to see them fade

I still think about you every time the sun shines when it rains

How the colours stretch across the sky, how I’ll never be the same

I am sorry that you couldn’t see me grow into the man I am today

I still miss you, I still miss you, I still miss you every day

You left me writing notes to heaven

Cause there's no way there is a God

Who would commit that kind of felony

Without looking back to stop

And I’m sorry, yeah I’m sorry I don’t speak to you every day

I guess I’m still a little bitter that they couldn’t let you stay for one more day

I still think about you every time the sun shines when it rains

How the colours stretch across the sky, how I’ll never be the same

I am sorry that you couldn’t see me grow into the man I am today

I still miss you, I still miss you, I still miss you every day
