Last Goodbye - Tedashii, Benjah

Tears hit her checks

Like Tyson’s glove

Pain hits us hard

As she fights for love

She says «don't go!»

But the call came

It’s time to deploy

And they called his name

Close to zero-five hundred

Her mind starts wonderin'

Butterflies, tummy starts rumbin'

Queasy, uneasy tryin' to hold it all together

She doesn’t want their last moments here to be unpleasant

The car ride is quiet

Outside it’s hard to fight it

Inside it’s like she’s dyin'

That’s where she started cryin'

He tries to comfort her

«Baby it’s alright»

Liar!

That’s what she screams louder from the thoughts of fright

They pray

«It's okay, I promise that I’ll be safe»

That’s what he tells her as he looks her in the face

And as he walks away looking in her eye

Last kiss as they say

I pray this is not our last goodbye, goodbye

I pray this is not our last goodbye, goodbye (goodbye)

Graduation

Her nine weeks are done

Hoorah, hoopla

Now it’s time to move on

Leavin' out of basic

She just got her assignment

She’s headed off to war and it’s hard for her to face it

Or face her

The daughter that she’s leavin'

It’s hard to come to terms with the truth

No one believes it

And even when it’s staring in your face

You don’t receive it

She hears «mommy»

And it’s just like her heart stops beatin' (beatin' x2)

Inhales, heavy breathin'

Worried when she leaves she may not be back to see them

Her baby girl, and the family that she loves

Tryin' to hold back the tears right now it’s tough

She fights to stay strong

Gotta hold on

She says a prayer

Just tryin' to find a calm

Thoughts of eternity

Then back to reality

In fear she tells her family

I don’t wanna be alone

I don’t want

I don’t wanna be alone, no
