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

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

In the morning, on your last day
I held you so close, my hands in your fur and
Let the tears fall, I just couldn't let go
To wipe 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

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

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

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
