Not Ready For Goodbye

[Verse]
Empty chairs at the table, two shadows gone,
Every echo in the room sings your name in a song.
The clock keeps ticking, but the hands feel slow,
A boy in a grown man’s body screaming, "Don’t go."
[Chorus]
Not ready for you to leave, I’ll never be,
Can’t you understand the small kid in me?
You were the walls that held my house upright,
Now the ceiling’s caving in, it’s a stormy night.
[Verse 2]
Pop’s old boots by the door, Ma's quilt on the chair,
These ain't just objects, they’re ghosts in the air.
Strumming broken strings on a heart outta tune,
Wolves howl at my soul under a harvest moon.
[Chorus]
Not ready for you to leave, I’ll never be,
Can’t you understand the small kid in me?
You were the walls that held my house upright,
Now the ceiling’s caving in, it’s a stormy night.
[Bridge]
Every lesson you taught, now it's put to the test,
But I’m a child inside, lost in this quest.
Tryna build my strength from this cracked debris,
Two handprints on my heart, you’re still guiding me.
[Verse 3]
No photos can capture your touch or your laugh,
Memories like lines etched in an old epitaph.
Dad, your wisdom; Mom, your endless grace,
I see them both mirrored in my teardrop’s taste.
[Chorus]
Not ready for you to leave, I’ll never be,
Can’t you understand the small kid in me?
You were the roots to my family tree,
Now it’s swaying in the wind, crying to be free.
