Time is a funny thing
Can't turn it back, keeps ticking on
And hope is a foolish friend
Still holding on to when you were here
And I will be strong
I will be brave
I'll find my way
I'm reaching for the phone
Cause I'm feeling so alone
Days and days go by
And I'm counting every hour
But there's static on the line
No voice to fill this hole
I'm leaving you this message
Cause you're not coming home
Tears stream out of my eyes
As I watched you walk away
You said you wouldn't be long
You never lied to me before
And I will be strong
I will be brave
I'll find my way
I'm reaching for the phone
Cause I'm feeling so alone
Days and days go by
And I'm counting every hour
But there's static on the line
No voice to fill this hole
I'm leaving you this message
Cause you're never coming home
Oh they've taken you away
The angels have you now
I never thought I'd say it
Oh this is my last goodbye
And I hope you're happy there
I'm sending up this prayer
I'm sending up this prayer
Cause you're not coming home
