My dearest Lisa, I'm writing you a letter
It's been one year ago today.
I won't try to lie you,
, You know I’ve struggled to stay sane

I know you told me to not blame the world
And its not personal, but that didn't work
I resented everyone being happy
Happy for no reason at all

All alone here in the Afterlife

But I've trying to stay busy.
Between working and seeing Dad at the home
Taking long walks and coming to visit you
But I drink all night long

I’m left behind here in the Afterlife

Bridge
There a nurse that took care of my Dad
We've actually been out to dinner once or twice
But she knows I'm not ready,
Regardless of your advice

I watch your videos every day.
Its the only way I can make it through
I've made to vow to myself to be a better person
I should have been a better person for you

Til we met again in the Afterlife
Til we met again in the Afterlife
