He Leaves home just like every morning
Saying goodbye to his son
And its off to work for another day
A kiss on the cheek to the woman he loves
Traffic jam outside the city
He parks his car and rushes up the stairs
Leaves him anxious once again
Overlooking the town he calls home
Puts his breifcase down and sits in his chair
And everyone is unaware
Then up from the frame of the picture on his desk
So he calls his wife just to tell her this:
Of the family he loves
Uneasiness fills his chest

Don't wait up for me tonight
Cuz I won't be coming home
And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know

I had to call you one last time

Just to rest your mind
Cuz I won't be coming home
Don't wait up for me tonight

And everything's gonna be alright
I just wanted you to know

Lights go out
People shout
Me, I'm trying
People crying
Fathers die
Mothers cry
To you
And me, I'm still holding on
To you
Lights go out

People shout
People crying
Mothers cry
Me, I'm trying
Fathers die
To you
And me, I'm still holding on

I can see the end from here
I love you I just wanted to say
A few more words and I'm going to go
Those three words to you today
