[verse 1: vic vega]
Dear nan, i know you hear me speaking, it means a lot
I tried to write a perfect song and this is all that i've got
So many things i really want to get up off of my chest
Because it feels like yesterday since we laid your head to rest
I won't forget all of the good times that we used to share
All of the food you used to make for these years i share tears
Feeling blessed you gave me breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert
Knowing you died was very painful, deep down it really hurt
Ever since my father left, he gave me nothing but pain
I lost respect for him knowing he disrespected your name
But i was thankful how you kicked that faggot out of the house
I always want to speak the truth, but they keep shutting me out
You always had a funny story every time we're watching tv
Walking back home from my school, you were so happy to see me
Knowing you passed away, it's hard for me to maintain
Without you, things will never be the same, but i'll never forget you
[chorus: vic vega]
Because i'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
Because i never forget you
[verse 2: vic vega]
Going to sleep during the night with lights on, i started yawning
I remember how you used to read me bedtime stories
You used to be there for me during my lowest
Cruising down in rotorua, we was living in the moment
Headed to the hospital, helping you to recover
All of the time you was in pain, but you no longer have to suffer
Back in 2017, it happened eight years ago
Feeling happy and delighted, driving down our way home
You seen me growing up from a boy to a man
Started focusing on music and started making plans
You was happy yesterday, but you were gone in the next
I couldn't cope back in the past, i was feeling depressed
Last time we saw each other, we talked for a while
Seen your body getting weaker, but still you gave me a smile
Said our final goodbyes and you was ready to go
And so the lord took you to a happy home, this is my message to you
[chorus: vic vega]
Because i'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
[verse 3: vic vega]
Things felt different when i had to leave the house
Since you died, me and my family had had a huge falling out
So i learned how to stand on my own two feet
Looking to find myself a job and find a way to get some fast money
But i'm thankful for what you gave me
You should have realized this, my auntie raylene had betrayed me
I stayed away from her and cut her out my life behind the constant bickering i knew that something wasn't right
Everything was going great until they started hating me
So i had to leave taupo, learning how to find peace
Because only god knows what went down
But it's sad to see how you're no longer around
Had to go our separate ways, my family fell apart
But you will always have a place deep inside of my heart
I really wish you got the chance to read my personal letter
Because i'll never forget all of the times we spent together, yeah
Rest in peace to my grandmother janice kirikau
Rest in peace to my grandfather raimona kirikau
Rest in peace to my cousin jordan
My uncle oscar
My homeboy bronson
My auntie pare and her son scotty
Auntie porks and nana lucy
Rest in peace to everybody i forgot to mention, it was so tragic how you had to leave man i'll never forget you
[chorus: vic vega]
Because i'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
Because i'll never forget you
[outro: lennox's monologue]
And the crowd goes wild. it was difficult performing this song on stage in front of groups of people. i just didn't expect my song will have the audience moving in tears
