Story behind the song

Lyrics
"I, I never, say goodbye"
"I never can say goodbye"
how could i just say goodbye?
A father sleeps 6 feet deep
And his son stands above, silent except his weep
But you see no change, cause he won’t show he’s weak
And he won’t talk bout it so inside he keeps
Keeps all this shit bundled inside
Until this shit builds up and eats his inside
Then it gets to his flesh and eats his heart a live
And its to early to try to move on
To love another when half his heart is gone
With the father it was real love, now its just lost love
And these new guys, fake dads, just bring bought hugs
I’m not loved I’m a fucking bought son
And It might be alright if it was just one wrong done
But how many “fathers” can one kid have
and is it possible that there's more instore
I use to be ok, a beautiful rose,
But now as my hatred grows, and I grow thorns
I use to have a halo but now I’ve grown horns
"I never can say goodbye"
how could i just say goodbye?
Pops is gone, now its time to move on
Don’t worry bout correctin’ whats wrong
But correct me if I’m wrong
I shouldn’t be written this song
I shouldn’t feel alone fo’ damn near this long
Cause Its been one mo’ year
It's been One mo’ tear, but I only got one fear
Stayin’ alive, cause since the age of 5
All I’ve been doin’ is just wishin to die
Let my soul flow to the sky
Say whats up to my dad
Everything happens fo’ a reason
But Gods sayin’ oops my bad
Cause Vinni should have a father
But no man will ever have that honor
Cause dad you won’t be replaced
N’ no one will ever step to my face
Or call me their son, their own
N’ if one guy tries my cold heart will be shown
N’ I won’t watch my tone
I’ll talk back, respect I’ll lack
Cause I’ve been through some shit
N’ I won’t let my heart get hit
I only got pieces of it left
I'll talk about you until my last breath
"I never can say goodbye"
how could i just say goodbye?
when I was growin up, my heart was stone
and now that i've matured, ive grown
to let go and i feel so alone
i had frustration from this indignation
everything happens for a reason
but i was just impatient
seeking out a reason that you were taken
i grew tired of faking smiles
to cover up my heart breakin
and i musta went crazy
cause the room started shakin
you were never mentioned
unless i asked a question
and i was always stressin
cause it felt like i was guessin
cause you were only alive
until i reached the age of five
12 years later, i still got the same cry
12 years later, still askin why
and i still get, filled with rage
only went to the cemetary with mom mom
now she's in the grave
and, in a way, i wanna be there too
like father like son, and i wanna be like you
but how can i, when you're not here today
and the worst thing is, the pain isn't 2-way
"I never can say goodbye"
how could i just say goodbye?
how could i say goodbye to this good guy?
was only there to raise me as a tike
didnt live long enough to see me ride the bike
and the crazy thing is how we're so alike
from the personality to the blue eyes
but pops, God has blessed me with two new eyes
and i know you and him have both heard my crys
but imma stay strong and say a proper goodbye
hold my head high
plus imma still celebrate ya birthday every year
imma be just like you and rock the red beard
which is startin to grow in
and since God is all knowin,
imma trust that everything will be alright
even tho i cant get a hug and kiss at night
and these words that i write
i hope the reach you
cant wait to meet you
at the pearly gates
ill see you then
but for now, i gotta set this straight
no more tears of pain
cause you rest in piece
P.S. you'll be a grandpa
im havin a niece
