For Grandma.

lyrics

Nothing to give you but my love and my tears
Don’t know what to say you’ve been my rock all these years
You won’t live like this it’s not a life at all
Been hard to hear you not the same when I call

Why can’t I make you better?
Why can’t I make you okay?
Oh how I wish I could
Why can’t I make you better?
Why can’t I make you believe?
But I’m just not that naïve

And I’ve always been the one
Who smiles for you
But I didn’t come today
To bring you good news
My love is all I can offer you

Nothing to give you but a hand to hold you
Sing you to sleep the way that you’d always do
I’ll hold you tight and just let myself cry
Can’t bare to think how this could be our good-by

Why can’t I make you better?
Why can’t I make you okay?
Oh how I wish I could
Why can’t I make you better?
Why can’t I make you believe?
But I’m just not that naïve

And I’ve always been the one
Who smiles for you
But I didn’t come today
To bring you good news
My love is all I can offer you
