Never home to fulfill her needs
Is it over?
Distance feeds anxiety
Is it over?
Another town I cry and hug my knees
Is it over?
The distance grows
I want to come back home

Another day away another fight you face alone
I'm gone
I'd like to save you from the pain, a thousand miles away
I'm gone

Mother's due for deadly news
Is it over?
Another night, medication and tubes
Is it over?
I wish I'd never seen cancer
I'd die just to find that answer
Is it over?
The distance grows
Her heartbeat's slow

I can't take this anymore

It won't be long
Keep holding strong
