[Intro, soft piano, vinyl crackle] [Verse 1] I loved you through the sunshine, I loved you through the rain, Through every broken promise, Through every bit of pain. You were the love of my life, The father of our child, And I'd look into your eyes And see the man behind the wild. We had the good times, darling, We had the bad as well, And God knows we had ugly days That only we could tell. I'd cry and beg you, "Change your ways, Please do it for our child, Don't let these drugs steal everything, Don't let them steal your life." [Pre-Chorus] Rehab after rehab, Prison after prison, Section after section, While I prayed you'd finally listen. Men in white coats taking you, Blue lights outside the door, And every time they took you away I loved you even more. [Chorus] And I cried for you, God knows I cried for you, Begged you to come home again, Begged you to make it through. For me and for your only child, For the family we once knew, But I couldn't fight those demons, No matter what I'd do. Now there's an empty chair, And memories in every room, A little one who'll ask one day, "Why did Daddy have to go so soon?" You took your walk to heaven, And left your love behind, But I'll carry you forever Till the end of time. [Verse 2, Intense Cockney Rap] I remember them police pickups, Cage in the back, blue lights flashing, Me wondering where you're going, Wondering when you'd stop crashing. Another ward, another section, Another locked-up door, Another man in a white coat Telling me they can't do no more. I watched them pin you to that bed, Nurses trying to keep you still, Sedatives going into you, Trying to calm that raging thrill. Psych drugs after psych drugs, For a while you found your feet, Then you stopped taking everything And went running back to the street. I weren't blind, I saw you changing, Saw the man I loved disappear, And every time I tried to save you You'd drift a little further from here. [Verse 3] Eventually we went our separate ways, Two hearts on different roads, But I still watched you from a distance As you carried that heavy load. Year after year I watched you fall, And wished that I could intervene, Wished I could turn the clock right back To when you were still you and me. Our child grew up with memories, Questions that I couldn't hide, And somewhere deep inside my heart I kept hoping you'd survive. [Bridge, Quiet Piano] Then Friday night came, And I didn't know it was goodbye. You took too much that night, my love, And heaven heard your cry. Monday came with that dreaded call, The words I couldn't bear… "He's gone." And just like that, my whole world stopped, And silence filled the air. [Final Chorus, Full Soul] So I cried for you, Like I cried all those years, For every broken promise, Every memory through the tears. I loved you through the good times, I loved you through the bad, I loved you through the ugliest days, Through everything we had. And I hope you're finally peaceful, I hope you're finally free, No more cages, no more prison walls, No more fighting to be. You took your walk to heaven, But you left a piece behind, In the heart of your only child, And forever inside mine. [Outro, Soft Cockney Whisper] You were my love… You were his daddy… You were part of our story. We couldn't save you, darling, But we never stopped loving you. Sleep peacefully now. Your fight is over. [Soft piano fades]
