“Covid Took You”
[Verse 1]
We laughed at the news, said it’s just a little flu.
Kept living like nothing could ever touch me or you.
But the silence came creeping, like a thief in the night.
And the cough turned to sirens, and the day turned to fright.
[Verse 2]
You said, “I’m just tired,” with a smile so thin.
Didn’t know that goodbye was setting in.
I kissed you through the mask, couldn’t hold back the tears.
As the world kept on turning, we were drowning in fear.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, Stay inside, wear a mask, wash your hands, you'll be fine.
But death wore a mask and it crossed every line.
[Chorus]
We thought we had time, we thought we were safe,
But heaven came calling and you slipped away.
No warning signs, no last goodbye,
Just a hole in my chest and questions why.
I swear this ain’t real, I scream your name,
COVID took you… and nothing’s the same.
[Break]
[Verse 3]
The news said numbers, but you were a name.
A soul, a story, not part of some game.
They said “it’s just a phase,” “it’ll pass with time”.
But time don’t bring you back, it just rewinds.
[Verse 4]
They say time will heal, but they don’t understand.
How do you mend when you can’t hold their hand?.
The world moved on, but I’m stuck in that day.
When the light in your eyes slowly faded away.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said, inside, wear a mask, wash your hands, you'll be fine.
But death wore a mask and it crossed every line.
[Chorus]
We thought we had time, we thought we were safe,
But heaven came calling and you slipped away.
No warning signs, no last goodbye,
Just a hole in my chest and questions why.
I swear this ain’t real, I scream your name,
COVID took you… and nothing’s the same.
[Bridge]
I light a candle, whisper your name.
This grief is a fire I can’t seem to tame.
If love could’ve saved you, you’d still be here.
But now I just carry your voice in my tears.
[Chorus]
We thought we had time, we thought we were safe,
But heaven came calling and you slipped away.
No warning signs, no last goodbye,
Just a hole in my chest and questions why.
I swear this ain’t real, I scream your name,
COVID took you… and nothing’s the same.
And nothing’s the same.
And nothing’s the same.
[Outro]
