I couldn't feel
Much more alone
I know it's real
I know you're gone

And the family I
Have left I cling to
But I'm dead inside
And I can't seem to

(Let you go...)

Can't let go
This will not pass
Like an echo
That lasts and lasts
Evil angels
Just laugh and laugh

And it's all too real, I'm alone in the dark
And nothing can fill this hole in my heart
Moving on with life, it's going to be hard to hold on
Oh Momma why? Why did you have to go home?

Now we're orphans
In a world so very cold
Where's our fortunes?
What is down the road?

Well the family I
Have left I cling to
But I'm dead inside
And I can't seem to

(Let you go...)

Can't let go
This will not pass
Like an echo
That lasts and lasts
Evil angels
Just laugh and laugh

And it's all too real, I'm alone in the dark
And nothing can fill this hole in my heart
Moving on with life, it's going to be hard to hold on
Oh Momma why? Why did you have to go home?

You were an anchor
Representing what was left
After all of the danger
And anger was put to rest...
So many years of violence
You endured for a tentative moment of peace
Someone please tell me why this
Life is so g0ddamm fleeting and brief?

And it's all too real, I'm alone in the dark
And nothing can fill this hole in my heart
Moving on with life, it's going to be hard to hold on
Oh Momma why? Why did you have to go home?
