It's time to get up
But I lay here drained and worn
Almost feels as if I've never slept
The house is jam packed
Everybody's come to mourn
Yet it's all still so hard to accept
Though she was taken
She left a legacy behind
In all the love that she conveyed
And as I lay here
I can't get her off my mind
Oh how I wish she could have stayed
But now she's gone
And I'm just lying here in bed
Crawling up beneath the covers
Like they can keep away the dread
I know that I should carry on
In fact that's what she would have said
But how can I just go on living
When I know my sister's dead
Somehow I get up
And make my way downstairs
So many people all around
They tell me stories
Everyone has what to share
While I can't seem to make a sound
They finish talking
And wait for me to speak
But I'm too broken and in pain
Not sure they realize
Exactly just how weak
You feel when your sister has been slain
Now she's gone
And I'm just lying here in bed
Crawling up beneath the covers
Like they can keep away the dread
I know that I should carry on
In fact that's what she would have said
But how can I just go on living
When I know my sister's dead
I just can't believe she's gone for good
Just don't understand why
I can't believe she's gone for good
And that I never said goodbye
I just wanna stay in bed for life
Just wanna grieve and cry
Yet somehow I will carry on
At least I promise her I'll try
For now she's gone
And I can't help but fall apart
She was taken from us suddenly
We weren't ready to depart
Yet I know someday I'll get up
And I'll give life a brand new start
As I try to go on living
I'll keep her with me in my heart
She's always with me In My Heart
