The Hospital Blues You Gave to Me Songtext
von The Gospel Youth

I spent far too many days
planning how to breach those gates
so I could ask them for myself
why they had to give you wings
or why he had to pierce your heart
cause you had so much more to give

There were words I needed badly to get off my tongue
but your body was a shell of all the things I′d grown to love
scattered ashes and I shattered into glass-like shards of misery, I was young
I took the blame for things I could've done.

and I′m sorry I don't visit all the time
I left you flowers but I can't bear to see them die.

I still think about you every time the sun shines when it rains
How the colours stretch across the sky, how i′ll never be the same.
I am sorry that you couldn′t see me grow into the man I am today
I still miss you, I still miss you, I still miss you every day


They better have had the angels lead you in
Because I still can't hear that Jimmy song without your harmonies slipping in.

and I′m sorry that they took your spark away
I left you flowers, but I won't stay to see them fade.

I still think about you every time the sun shines when it rains
How the colours stretch across the sky, how i′ll never be the same.
I am sorry that you couldn't see me grow into the man I am today
I still miss you, I still miss you, I still miss you every day

You left me writing notes to heaven,
cause there′s no way there is a god
who would commit that kind of felony
without looking back to stop
and I'm sorry, yeah I'm sorry I don′t speak to you every day
I guess I′m still a little bitter that they couldn't let you stay for one more day.

I still think about you every time the sun shines when it rains
How the colours stretch across the sky, how i′ll never be the same.
I am sorry that you couldn't see me grow into the man I am today
I still miss you, I still miss you, I still miss you every day
