〈verse〉
In the morning, on your last day
I woke up in bed, you woke up beneath it
You’d been hiding, you hadn’t been eating
We didn’t know why
We called the vet and i made a promise
I told you it’d be okay but it wasn’t
And i'm sorry, i’ll always be sorry
I’m sorry i lied

〈chorus〉
You were as good as you knew how to be
I saw you trying, i know you were trying
Does a life so small really mean anything?
All that i know is it mattered to me
Show me the way back home
After i leave here alone

〈verse〉
In the morning, on your last day
I held you so close, my hands in your fur and
Lеt the tears fall, i just couldn't let go
To wipе them away
I was your person, the one that you trusted
I hope that you knew, i never took that for granted
I hope that you felt it, the love in my hands
As i held you that day
〈chorus〉
You were as good as you knew how to be
I saw you trying, i know you were trying
Does a life so small really mean anything?
All that i know is it mattered to me
Show me the way back home
After i leave here alone

〈bridge〉
I saw you again only once, in a dream
In a room where the walls were as gray as the sea
And i knew you were safe then
I knew you'd found peace
Sometimes i still glimpse you, just out of sight
I believe there are spaces between and behind
I bet that makes you happy
You always loved a place to hide

〈chorus〉
You were as good as you knew how to be
I saw you trying, i know you were trying
Does a life so small really mean anything?
I promise that all of it mattered to me
Show me the way back home
After i leave here alone
