See, when you're young, there's a connection from a mother to a son
And that mother, she's the light, and she carries you on
See, she'll pick you up, and she'll keep you clean
She'll show you the love you so desperately need
So at no point, do you think she could ever leave?
She's the constant, she's the mother, she's all that we need
So imagine my pain, I was only 14
And I was told that my mother was no longer here
♪
You parted the clouds and shone down on me
Kept me from feeling so incomplete
But now I feel lost, searching always
For that missing light in the darkest of days
'Cause love's what you taught and love's what we learned
But it's so hard to feel love when you're not around
This house, it feels empty, my father's lost for words
He's desperately trying, but can't make a sound
I'm so sorry
Bring her back to me, bring her back
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't feel, I can't breathe
Bring her back to me, bring her back
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I sometimes talk to the distorted
Reflection in the bottom of my empty glass
There's only one question I'll ever ask: will I see you again?
But I'm sure the answer will come as no
Surprise as I stare at myself eye-to-eye
And whisper, whisper the words: "Why'd she have to die?"
Why? Why did you have to die?
Bring her back to me, bring her back
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't feel, I can't breathe
Bring her back to me, bring her back
I can't keep going on, I just wish I could see you again
Bring her back to me, bring her back to me
Oh God, please, bring her back to me, bring her back to me
Oh God, oh God, bring her back to me, bring her back to me
Bring her back to me, bring her back to me
