Well it's been ...
3 weeks since we said goodbye
And how am I hard, as I try
Supposed to last
A whole lifetime
The days are fine
I keep my mind
Occupied
And satisfied
I keep my eyes on
The consolation prize
But in the night
I lose the fight
I toss and turn
While my fears unite
My teeth grind,
Everytime
The visions com,
I wish I was blind
They're teasing me,
Endlessly
With a dream that was,
But can never be
I was never meant to be without you
I was never meant to be without you
I suppose in time, I will get by
But I was never meant to be without you
Now it's been 3 weeks since
I wrote this song
Now the future's wrong seems way too long
I thank the stars you taught me
To be strong ...
Now, I walk the line
Your hand my mind
Your still my guide, side by side
I tell myself
It's just a matter of time
And now my life
Keeps movin by
And now I hear
Your voice in mine
I still smile
Most of the time
At memories, lives intertwined
You're keepin me
Company
With a love that was,
And will always be
I was never meant to be without you
I was never meant to be without you
I suppose in time, I will get by
But I was never meant to be without you
REPEAT
3 weeks since we said goodbye
And how am I hard, as I try
Supposed to last
A whole lifetime
I keep my mind
Occupied
And satisfied
The consolation prize
I lose the fight
I toss and turn
While my fears unite
Everytime
The visions com,
I wish I was blind
Endlessly
With a dream that was,
But can never be
I was never meant to be without you
I suppose in time, I will get by
But I was never meant to be without you
I wrote this song
Now the future's wrong seems way too long
I thank the stars you taught me
To be strong ...
Your hand my mind
Your still my guide, side by side
I tell myself
It's just a matter of time
Keeps movin by
And now I hear
Your voice in mine
Most of the time
At memories, lives intertwined
You're keepin me
Company
With a love that was,
And will always be
I was never meant to be without you
I suppose in time, I will get by
But I was never meant to be without you

About his mom's death.
Wow. IS it about his mom? I didn't see it but now it does make perfect sense. I assumed it was about a lover and a breakup, but the death of a really close loved one hits harder with his lyrics.
That makes a lot more sense considering the hidden outro to the album - an answering machine message from his mom. I had always assumed he just did it as a little “bonus” for her, but if she really is dead, then it was probably a lot more than that, especially considering you can hear him say “bye Mom” at the end of the message.
