The Aloom Project - The Last Day Lyrics

Maybe I left when you were three
Maybe I missed our anniversary
Again and again
Maybe I didn't call enough
I told myself it'd be too tough
Again and again and again

Maybe I tried to make you proud
But couldn't stand the higher ground
This was too much to ask me
Maybe I lied to keep me safe
When you confronted me face to face
Maybe I was too scared to show
So I decided to go

And here we are, on the last day
Where you decided to come and play
This game of smiles and laughs like we've done this before
But I know deep inside you're hurting
When you smile, your eyes are shining
And it's not the sun, but a river of your tears

Maybe I made a few mistakes
So many risks I couldn't take
Again and again
Maybe I closed myself to love
But when the wound open on its own
This is a gift that I can't receive
So I decided to leave

And here we are, on the last day
Where you decided to come and play
This game of smiles and laughs like we've done this before
But I know deep inside you're hurting
When you smile, your eyes are shining
And it's not the sun, but a river of your tears

How could I be brave like you
And tell the truth you asked me to
Waste the time that we have left
Let's put the anger to rest
And put a veil onto the past
And I'll be with you at last
Like yesterday's just another day
And not a history of pain
Like the fairytales that helped you sleep
And fill the emptiness

Maybe you'll write a new story
Where we are close like a family
And we'll live happily, we'll pretend
Before the curtain closes
The End
