Last Breath
I have heard the same thing
And you're constantly making sure I'm listening
It was my first time going
But I know what I'm going
I wanted to make y'all proud
So I had water even when I was the only one in the crowd
Telling my friends don't make a mistake
So it won't end in a heartbreak
That's when the goodbyes
Suddenly turned into cries
I didn't see it coming
And how I'm on the gravel bleeding
Screaming and yelling is all I heard
With pain in my body that burned
I felt my heart beating fast
And I'm worried that my breath will be my last
I need my mother, I want my father
As my pain is getting stronger
All I see now is blurry faces
Asking what my name is
My back gets chills all down it
Over and over again I ask myself will I make it
Tell my sister to be strong
And put a piece of me in her heart where I belong
Tell my father that he was my hero
And remeber the places we used to go
Tell my mother I always wanted to make her proud
But I can't, and I want to scream so loud
My breathing is getting harder
The noise inside of me gets louder
Passing a lady trying to follow me crying
I knew who she was and I wasn't lying
Because a daughter never forgets the love from a mother
Feeling the warmth in the hugs I got from her
Seeing my father with her across the room
All I see in his eyes is the doom
Wondering if they will be brave
When they see my name on the grave
How will people remember my name
When they say it won't be the same
I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad
Please forgive me, don't be sad
I'll always be looking over
From the land that is coming closer
I'm sorry that I have to say goodbye this way
Thinking that I have no hope to stay
So hold my hand tight God
As I look back at life and nod
