Every Teat Songtext

Dear Mum,
I know we find it hard to talk
And I don′t see you much no more
So I thought I write a letter
Poke your thoughts
I know the last 10 years have been the hardest
Seening in both our lives(?)
Watching you get cancer three times
And nearly dying
From the chemotherapy sessions.
When you came home
Inside to cry
But I kept the tears from my eyes.
Mum, I thought you'd died
I didn′t want to say goodbye
When we'd barely spoke a word
Wishing I could show you how I felt
Through all this pain and hurt


I don't know what to say and what to do about it
I don′t know what to feel and what to think about it
I don′t want to go it alone
Dread the day that you don't pick up the phone.
I don′t know what to say and what to do about it
I don't know what to feel and what to think about it
I don′t want to go it alone
Dread the day that you don't pick up the phone.

Every tear that I cry
Is covering(?) a word
A word I cant say
That want′s to be heard
Every tear that I cry
Is made just for you
I can't say goodbye
'Cause then it would be true
Every tear that I cry
Is covering(?) a word
A word I cant say
That want′s to be heard
Every tear that I cry
Is made just for you
I can′t say goodbye
'Cause then it would be true


Dear Dad,
I know sometimes we don′t really get on
And I hide the way I'm feeling
I won′t really let on
That inside I'm scared of losing you
You think that I′m just using you
It's not just another subject
That I can write my music to.
This is how I feel
Take a look through my glasses
A lot of time has passed since you had those
Five bypasses.
Now everyday I get worried
And I want to cry
When I see that look of pain in my mother's eyes

I don′t know what to say and what to do about it
I don′t know what to feel and what to think about it
I don't want to go it alone
Dread the day that you don′t pick up the phone.
I don't know what to say and what to do about it
I don′t know what to feel and what to think about it
I don't want to go it alone
Dread the day that you don′t pick up the phone.

You ain't heard bad news
Trust, I can promise this
'Till you′ve heard bad news
From an oncologist
It kinda puts arguments in perspective
Maybe we could all be retrospective
But what about the time that we′re left with
So everyday now
I do all I can
'Cause I don′t know my part in this infinate plan
But I understand
You were never promised this earth
And I know that it's certain from birth
You see,
Memories they live on
And that′s the part that hurts.

Every tear that I cry
Is covering(?) a word
A word I cant say
That want's to be heard
Every tear that I cry
Is made just for you
I can′t say goodbye
'Cause then it would be true
Every tear that I cry
Is covering(?) a word
A word I cant say
That want's to be heard
Every tear that I cry
Is made just for you
I can′t say goodbye
′Cause then it would be true.
