Plea

Don't tell my father I died today
Wouldn't want him feeling sad
Wouldn't want him waiting by the door
Wouldn't want his kisses scattered around the floor

Don't tell my father I died today
Wouldn't want him sitting by himself
Wouldn't want him listening to my mother yell
Wouldn't want him dying a little each day

Don't tell my father I died today
Wouldn't want him struggling to find himself
Wouldn't want him starting a conversation that never ends
Wouldn't want him wondering how to love himself

Don't tell my father I died today
Wouldn't want him waiting by the door
Wouldn't want him feeling incomplete
Wouldn't want him wondering what to eat

Don't tell my father I died today
Wouldn't want him reading to himself
Wouldn't want him wondering how to be a man
Wouldn't want him to forget the meaning of his name

Don't tell my father I died today
Wouldn't want him finding loneliness
Wouldn't want him driving to this grave
Wouldn't want him meeting me this way
So please, don't tell my father I died today
