[Intro: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
Hey, can you hear me
~#**************#~
I just wanted to let you know, hmm
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Dot Rotten]
~#**************#~
I hope you can hear what I write to you
~#**************#~
How could I say goodbye to you?
~#**************#~
When Im a life that came out of the inside of a life that was inside of you
~#**************#~
I gotta respect the way you provided food, for the whole fam
~#**************#~
You came over a moon rush supporting a mar jays old man
~#**************#~
Cold double 8, 8 kids bare wheels
~#**************#~
Plus racists full of hatred in your own plant
~#**************#~
3 jobs in a day
~#**************#~
Rest in life in you working but you were never stress free
~#**************#~
Just locked in a cage slaving
~#**************#~
They said they were gold in the pavements
~#**************#~
But you came and saw the road to amazement
~#**************#~
Broke your heart
~#**************#~
But still you were prone to last and your sorrow was over fast
~#**************#~
I hope your listening right
~#**************#~
I still think of you every Sunday
~#**************#~
No one can top your chicken and rice
~#**************#~
Even through the darkness times
~#**************#~
You held us all up because your vision was bright
~#**************#~
I knew your strength was your wisdom inside
~#**************#~
You never let anyone see your heartache
~#**************#~
You just got on with it
~#**************#~
Anyone tells me that they knew you said you were beautiful
~#**************#~
And your words you would stand strong with it
~#**************#~
Cause they were like warmth on a winter night
~#**************#~
But I was just too young to go on with it
~#**************#~
And there somethings I could try to do
~#**************#~
But its an impossible task for me to even try to say goodbye to you
~#**************#~
I couldnt do that, I owe my life to you
~#**************#~
[Hook 1: Ed Sheeran (Dot Rotten)]
~#**************#~
And of the pieces of my soul
~#**************#~
(Because I need a sign, I hope this pain will heal in time)
~#**************#~
You know I never want to be alo-oh-oh-one
~#**************#~
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air
~#**************#~
And will you think of me up there?
~#**************#~
Can I say goodbye to you?
~#**************#~
And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
~#**************#~
Or feel the chill of your warm embrace?
~#**************#~
Can I say goodbye to you? Ohh
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Dot Rotten]
~#**************#~
I think you phoney
~#**************#~
I was younger with the knowledge of things that I know now
~#**************#~
I would be by your side when you needed me
~#**************#~
Instead of asking you “Nan can I go out?”
~#**************#~
Standing in a road with the gangs that I know now
~#**************#~
Everyones missing you loads, Jessicas grown up
~#**************#~
Warreen, Lauren and Alex are fine and Im living with hope
~#**************#~
Its been a while since Ive seen C and the mouths
~#**************#~
I miss seeing a family, being a family
~#**************#~
And us agreeing with smiles how it used to be as a child
~#**************#~
But as time goes by, the bridge seems longer
~#**************#~
Family problems have never been funny
~#**************#~
In my heart the only one that dissed me was Sonia
~#**************#~
She took all our inheritance money
~#**************#~
Left the rest of us to pick up the pieces
~#**************#~
I never forgive the way she betrayed us
~#**************#~
There aint a big enough reason
~#**************#~
Before I sell out my fam Ill be giving up breathing
~#**************#~
But I guess that everyones different
~#**************#~
Or should I say no ones perfect?
~#**************#~
She had happiness in front of her
~#**************#~
But chose to ride the wave that no ones surfing
~#**************#~
Since you gone the foundations crumbled
~#**************#~
So building it back up is my next step
~#**************#~
I got all the bricks and the cement but
~#**************#~
Its hard when its done, I dont know what to expect
~#**************#~
So give me the strength that I need to perform this task
~#**************#~
Make it right, I must do
~#**************#~
And I ask cause I trust you
~#**************#~
It goes way beyond a song when I say I love you
~#**************#~
[Hook 1]
~#**************#~
And of the pieces of my soul
~#**************#~
(Because I need a sign, I hope this pain will heal in time)
~#**************#~
You know I never want to be alo-oh-oh-one
~#**************#~
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air
~#**************#~
And will you think of me up there?
~#**************#~
Can I say goodbye to you?
~#**************#~
And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
~#**************#~
Or feel the chill of your warm embrace?
~#**************#~
Can I say goodbye to you? Ohh
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
Its just for now so I should hush
~#**************#~
Ill never get enough, Ill see you when I see you but
~#**************#~
I miss you, oh how I miss you
~#**************#~
Its just for now so I should hush
~#**************#~
Ill never get enough, Ill see you when I see you but
~#**************#~
I miss you, oh how I miss you
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Dot Rotten]
~#**************#~
There aint enough words to describe
~#**************#~
How sorry I am for the pain that I caused
~#**************#~
Sorry for when I stuck up my own blood
~#**************#~
We were young and he said it was raping his broad
~#**************#~
And for the day police came to the door
~#**************#~
Im sorry for being such a bad youth
~#**************#~
Stealing from your purse and making you mourn
~#**************#~
I never been able to say this before
~#**************#~
Cause I was so inconsiderate
~#**************#~
You loved me unconditionally
~#**************#~
And I took advantage of it like a idiot
~#**************#~
Not seeing the pure soul that I was living with
~#**************#~
I really hope that you can forgive me
~#**************#~
You going away was a punishment
~#**************#~
But I wont let go Im holding you with me
~#**************#~
But I still fight the emotions within me
~#**************#~
[Hook 2: Ed Sheeran]
~#**************#~
I can see the stars as the cold wind greets the air
~#**************#~
And will you think of me up there?
~#**************#~
And can I say goodbye to you?
~#**************#~
And paint the stains of the teardrops down your face
~#**************#~
Feel the chill of your warm embrace?
~#**************#~
And can I say goodbye to you?
~#**************#~
I can see the stars as a cold wind greets the air
~#**************#~
And will you think of me up there?
~#**************#~
Can I say goodbye to you?
~#**************#~
And paint the stains of the teardrops down my face
~#**************#~
Or feel the chill of your warm embrace?
~#**************#~
Can I say goodbye to you?
