It was nearly mid-night of the 1st day of May
I was in a deep sleep when you're taken away
Dawn came, I heard the news, I was left speechless
I didn't know what to do!
I cried so hard cos' you're never coming back
I sat like a pillar, right there in the corner
Trying to keep myself calm, but the truth is you are gone and I can't bring you back
I've got sleepless nights in my life, My whole life's shattered
It hurts so bad to see you go....Life's hard without you grandpa
I won't forget you and I won't forget the things we did
You taught me how to talk, walk, sit, whatsoever
You're like my everything and I really want you back
I miss you so bad...I hope you could hear me!
Everything was destroyed the day you slipped away
Everywhere I look I see no destiny
I got a pain in the chest and I can't take a breath
I got nothing on my mind, got nothing to make me smile
I feel so helpless, I feel so down
Things aren't the way they are supposed to be !
Coz you're gone somewhere I can't bring you back
Why is life so complicated? It gets me so frustrated
May be I was insane cos' I miss you so bad
I wish you could see me now, see what I have gone through
I wish you could hear me now, hear what I sang for you.
