So Long

I'm going to live
after you're gone
And I'm sorry that it took so long
I'm going to cry
I'm going to moan
But I wanted
to be on my own
I'm going to rise
while you're in bed
Going to see things
for the first time
With my own soft head
I'm going to tell them all about you
What you did for me all of my life
now an epiphany i
in one dark night,
and I'm sorry
so sorry
that it took so long
What we knew
never rested to stay
I could spend forever apologizing
for one last day
Taking with you
what you needed to know.
That it's alright
to turn around
and watch me go
And I'm sorry
so sorry
that it took so long
