Native Blü - The Last 17 Lyrics

I feel you constantly
It's become so hard to sleep
This permanency
Has sunk its teeth
Silent agony
Possessed reality
We witness your breath
Struggle to leave your chest
Amidst our family
Red eyes and sniffling
We stand petrified
At the inevitability
We watched you die
26 was too young to deliver a eulogy
Most people say they're sorry
But how could they know what I'm feeling?
To them you were simply a good man
A co-worker or just a friend
For me you were more than that
You were my father and now you're dead
The end of life tears apart those of us whom death laments
The pain you felt didn't fade
Our hearts still strain
Your dying words remain
You said you're proud of me
The grief inside my heart will never subside
I walk within shadows
Cast from a man who's no longer here
Whispering to me
An ethereal warmth eases my fears
Filling your footsteps with my own
Feels like a disgrace
Who am I to follow?
I am yours I bear your name
49 was too young for your organs to fail
My daughter won't remember sitting on your lap
Running your fingers through her hair
The end of life tears apart those of us whom death laments
The pain you felt didn't fade
Our hearts still strain
Your dying words remain
You said you're proud of me
The grief inside my heart will never subside
You know I miss you
We'll always miss you
Your dying words remain
You said you're proud of me
The grief inside my heart will never subside
