Can't Live Without You
Sanity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it'd be better if you left?
Was it something that I said?
Am I someone you regret?
Before you run away
There's something I wanna say
Before you go I think you should know
I'm alone and I'm afraid
That you could make me feel this way
Is there something that I could change?
A way to make you want to stay?
I can't live without you
But now I'll never know
When you're not there to talk to
But now I'm on my own
You said you needed time to think
I wish you'd spend some time with me
Before you run away
There's something I wanna say
Before you go I think you should know
I think you should know that
I'm alone and I'm afraid
That you could make me feel this way
Is there something that I could change?
A way to make you want to stay?
I can't live without you
But now I'll never know
When you're not there to talk to
But now I'm on my own

This is a poem I lean to when my family looses a child
Edgar Guest
"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine," He said.
"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay; since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"
"I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay;
But should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand!.

Because God called her home,
she's now learning how to fly.
No more bound to earth,
she's soaring through the sky.
She jumps from cloud to cloud,
shouting out with glee.
She smiles down at you,
but she knows shes finally free.
God Bless all of you.

You know what she’s doing right now?, she’s walking in heaven, she’s walking for the first time, she’s running around excited and happy, she’s free from all medications, free from needles and tests, free from doctors and wheelchairs and feeding tubes, she can finally jump, run, tumbling and rolling in heavens warmth waiting for you and her family to see her again when the time is right, she can draw in the clouds and swing in the wind. When freckles appear on your skin that’s her kissing you, when the long grass infolds you that’s her hugging you tight, when the trees give you shade that’s her embracing you, and when the rain wets your face that’s her tears of joy, when the crickets chirp and the wolf’s howl in the night, that’s her whispering night night.
