In the First Place Lyrics by Backtobetter

Watching Paint Dry - Ep

2020

[Chorus 1]
It seems like yesterday
You were still growing up
Learning from our mistakes
So far away
That we'd gather here
Hold hands, shed a tear
What can I do
Don't wanna face the truth
Hurts to look at you
Skies all fade from blue
Wish it'd go away
Shouldn't be here
In the first place
[Verse]
Last night I tried
To watch my sisters say goodbye
For the last time
I'd long to make things right
[Pre Chorus]
These bones all break
But you were strong in your faith
At least thats what I heard
Could you put in a good word
[Chorus 2]
Heard the other day
You went on hospice
So I cleared my headspace
I'd just pray
God make you better
Can't get worse than this
What can I do
Don't wanna face the truth
Hurts to look at you
Skies all fade from blue
Wish it'd go away
[Bridge]
Who's gonna pay
Shouldn't be here in the first place
Who's gonna pay
Shouldn't be here in the first place
Heard the other day
Clear my head space
Pray it go away
But you went away
Heard the other day
[Chorus 3]
What can I do
Don't wanna face the truth
Hurts to look at you
Skies all fade from blue
You went away
Shouldn't be here in the first place
In the first place
