lyrics

(For Grandma)

I didn't recognize your face as you laid there
It wasn't the face that raised me
It wasn't the face that took me home from school

I wish our goodbye wasn't over the phone
weeping in the middle of the grocery store
even though you told me no to cry,
then I saw you on the day you died

You couldn't talk, and you could hardly breath
but you said please don't leave here without me
'Take me home' is all that you could say
I'm sorry that I couldn't help you home that day

I wish I could've taken you home
I wish I could've taken you home
Like you asked
Like you demanded
But I couldn't

I wish I could've taken you home
I wish I could've taken you home
Like you asked
Like you demanded
But I couldn't
