you can cover him in flowers

carve his name into a stone

let your brother have his toolbox

and keep his number in your phone

leave tears on the bathroom floor

cause he ain't here anymore

but dads don't die

they still make you laugh so make you cry

still make you mad the day it dawns that you were wrong

and he was right

dads don't die

and neither does the love they leave behind

that's the holy truth I'll

hold on to until I see you in the next life

where there's no pain no goodbyes

and dads don't die

I'll see his blue eyes in the mirror

and in the crooked way I smile

you'll be with me in my dreams

pushing me on a tire swing

still making me feel like I can fly

cause dads don't die

they still make you laugh still make you cry

still make you mad the day it dawns that you were wrong

and he was right

dads don't die

and neither does the love they leave behind

that's the holy truth I hold

on to until I see you in the next life

where there's no pain no goodbyes

and dads don't die

oh

desk don't die

even if they lay you down

sometimes there's gonna come a day

you understand that he was just a man

and you turned out alright

dad don't die

and even does the love they leave behind

that's the holy truth I hold

on to until I see you in the next life

where there's no pain

no goodbyes

and debts don't die

oh days don't die
