A Box of Ashes and A Dog Tag
You can't bring him back
keep telling myself that
You can't bring him back
He's gone, He's dead now
A mother's wish
has never come to this
You had to go and take him away
And now he's not here today
If I am paying for a debt
then why doesn't this price seem met
If my sins laid upon him
You deserve what you get
Take me instead
Chorus:
I want him back
Oh
I want him back
Oh
But all you can have is that
box of ashes and a dog tag
Let me just lay here for a while by his side
But the tears can't stop running down my cheeks
Maybe if I stay here long enough
He will wake from his sleep
But no
He's so cold
But my anger is getting hotter
And my tears are staining
No, you can't replace him
Chorus:
I want him back
Oh
I want him back
Oh
But all you can have is that
box of ashes and a dog tag
Deny, Deny
Tonight I will not think
This is just a dream
A nightmare that just won't cease
My Baby and I will wake up to a better time
When i still wasn't
Happy
Will I ever be satisfied?
I held the love of my life
Now I hold him in a different way
Karma just seems so unfair to me
Chorus:
I want him back
Oh
I want him back
Oh
But all you can have is that
box of ashes and a dog tag
Once his
Now hung around your neck
Look at it and push the pain away
When it jingles, I still think I can hear him
But then I remember
He's not here
