lyrics

I don’t have your way with words
You always know what to say
You seem to find the perfect verse
At the worst of times to dull the pain

But together we made a team
Created something with passion and meaning
You became the heart of us
Those chaotic nights felt like a dream

Your kindness shone in a cold world
You never had a bad word to say
You are the best of us
Saw the goodness through our failings

We always had each others backs
You asked for nothing and gave your all
Never asked for recognition
We'd give anything to take your pain away

Don’t take the last train
I’m not ready for this to end
Won’t you stay for one more song
We could dance and sing along
We could stay up all night
Talk and share stories of better days
We’ve still got so much left to say

Life isn’t fair, you deserve more
Than the hand that you were dealt
You’re the best friend that we’ve known
How blessed we were to share those times

We’ll make the best of what we have
I’m amazed by your strength and dignity
You must want to scream and shout
Instead you smile and ask if I’m okay

I’ll stand at the platform
With a smile on my face
It’s the least that I can do
To see you get off safe
I don’t know where you’re going
Where the final stop will be
I hope it’s somewhere better
I hope you’ll be at peace
Lend me the courage to stand
And wave you on your way
Wait until your train pulls out
I still wish that you could stay
