[00:15]-Intro
[00:21]Son?
[00:22]Son, sit down
[00:23]What?
[00:24]-Chorus
[00:25]When you're lying in bed with nothing but your thoughts, love
[00:29](Thoughts love, thoughts love)
[00:31]When you're lying in bed with nothing but your fears, love
[00:34]Yeah (Fears, love)
[00:36]I won't be here, love
[00:37]-Verse 1
[00:38]When his Mom got cancer, he asked the doctor
[00:41]"Can you fix her?"
[00:42]He answered, "I don't think that I can, sir"
[00:44]Nah,no way, Mom's never sick, Mom never smoked
[00:47]Mom is the healthy one
[00:48]All you doctors and nurses, y'all can't tell me nothing
[00:50](Let me know)
[00:51]She passed a month after the chemo started
[00:53]His friends and family shed their tears for their dearly departed
[01:01]It's like the mind's a flawed design, he thought
[01:04]He asked his dad, "Why can't they cure disease?"
[01:07]He said, "Son, maybe when they find a cure for greed."
[01:10]He's having flashbacks to the birthday cakes she made him
[01:12]How she looked so proud and celebrated after he graduated
[01:18]And when he did, and they separated
[01:20]She helped him with his kids and raised them
[01:22]Appreciate it, wish she was here when he said it
[01:25]Never knew how hard that death is, but gotta learn to accept it
[01:28]When you're lying in bed with nothing but your thoughts, love
[01:33]Do you really want me, love?
[01:35]Lying in bed with nothing but your fears, love(lying in bed)
[00:25]-Bridge
[01:41]I-I-I-I-I-I-I(We go.)
[01:44]I been looking for you, looking for the lies
[01:53]He was searching for some work, referred to the reserves
[02:00]His wife worried, crying, when she hugged him and said goodbye(Bye my love)
[02:13]Bombs dropped, dead children, war crimes and war cries
[02:17]Sent home when he almost died from a car bomb and a suicide
[02:22]but Daddy ain't the same, can't adjust back to his normal life
[02:25]Cause right now it don't seem important compared to the war and little things like paying bills being a father, he ignored 'em
[02:31]He asked the doctor help him, Xanax for depression(Xanax for depression)
[02:38]Got addicted, doctor knew it and he cut off his prescription(Nah, nah, no one)
[03:00]Does it really bug you, love?
[03:01]Do you really want me, love?
[03:03]Lying in bed with nothing but your fears, love(lying in bed)
[03:09]-Bridge
[03:12]I been looking for you, looking for the lies
[03:18]Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me know
[03:22]-Outro
[03:32]Let me know, let me know, let me know(Oh oh oh oh), let me know
[03:35]He was shocked and in denial
[03:36]Pain and the guilt
[03:38]Anger and the bugging and reflecting on himself
[03:41]Depression was setting in
[00:00][04:00]
[00:57.5]Losing his mother, man, that never crossed his mind
[00:59.5]Figured they still had lots of time
[01:03.5](Let me know)
[01:14.5]When she told him, "Don't you marry that lying girl I know you're dating"
[01:27.5]-Chorus
[01:31.5]Does it really bug you, love?
[01:37.5]Don't shed the tears, love
[01:39.5]I won't be here, love
[01:47.5]I-I-I-I-I-I-I(okay)
[01:50.5]Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me know
[01:52.8]-Verse 2
[01:56.5]Took it further, got deployed to serve his country undeterred
[02:03.5]Told his kids he had to leave, but they never understood why, no
[02:05.5](Let me know)No
[02:07.5]Active duty overseas, see some things he'd rather not remember
[02:11.5]Friends body parts dismembered
[02:20.5]Family's just happy he's still alive(Oh oh oh oh)
[02:21.5](Daddy)
[02:34.5]That just numbed him temporarily, more reclusive, less aggressive
[02:40.5]Couldn't take it, started stealing, hit the streets to get his fixing
[02:43.5]His wife couldn't forgive him, she tried, (Get out!)but had to kick him out
[02:47.5]Now he panhandles on Yonge Street with a in front of Subway
[02:49.5]With a sign that says, "Can't you spare change for a veteran?"
[02:53.5]His wife would change it in a second, but she can't
[02:55.5]And she accepts it
[02:55.8]-Chorus
[02:56.5]When you're lying in bed with nothing but your thoughts, love(nothing but your thoughts)
[03:06.5]Don't shed the tears, love
[03:07.9]I won't be here, love
[03:09.5]I-I-I-I-I-I-I
[03:16.5]I-I-I-I-I-I-I
[03:24.5]Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh(let me know), oh oh oh oh
[03:42.5]He's finally accepting it
[03:44.5]Just trying to make it through the stages of grief
