[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar with melodic hammer-ons] [Verse 1] [baritone male vocals enter] Life didn't turn out the way we hoped I think we both know why I wasn't there to hold you Or say my last goodbye You passed just like you came Unwanted and alone [guitar bridge with slide guitar accents] I didn't want to be there Or call you on the phone [Verse 2] I waited for so many years For you to come around But when that never happened We had no common ground I wish that you could die again We'd do it differently this time [Chorus] I'd see you as the child you were And sing to you in rhyme We'd reminisce the happy times Those moments we could share I'd fluff your flattened pillows And comb your matted hair But there's no coming back From the place that you have gone [slide guitar melody] One single chance is all I had And I handled it all wrong [Guitar Solo] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar melody with slide guitar accompaniment] [Chorus] I wish that you could die again We'd do it right this time With just a bit more digging That deeper love we'd find Come back and die again Don't leave the way you did You were more than just a mom And I'm more than just your kid [Outro] I wish that you could die again I wish that you could die again Don't give up on a happy end Come back and die again [acoustic guitar flourishes and final chord ring out]
