Hometown Crew - Bedside Goodbye Lyrics

Only minutes that still rest us
Yet I can't seem to speak these words
While I watched as you were leaving
Old man who held me at my birth

A 'thank you' for my visit
'My pleasure' my response
It all just felt so basic when I heard it in your voice

That this would be our last time
This would be our last time
And with many words that we never spoke
We said our standardised goodbyes
One of the few that I could talk to
Did we talk enough?

Was our time well spent together?
As I sit beside your bed all I can do is think and wonder if I left anything unsaid

A handshake all we muster up
Show respect in locking eyes
Too afraid to say 'I love you'
Held back by foolish pride

'How are you doing?'
'It's good to see you again?'
Those are the words I still hear ringing in my head
In that moment I did not expect that I had to say those final goodbyes beside your hospital bed

I inherited your principles, I always shared your name
And the people that once knew you see your resemblance in my face
