I’ve been writing songs about you while you’re up there on my wall And I know I'm nothing like you, you always stood so tall And I can’t stand straight for a second Mom’s always had a good eye she really captured your essence Her picture brings you to life and I can feel your presence I wish that I could go back to the life that we had when you were around I wanna dream like I did when I was a kid but I feel so different now Part of my childhood dies every time I lose someone I care about Time keeps slipping by and I'm terrified But I have to learn to live without you And I don’t want to live in the past But it all went by so fast I always thought that I would find a way to help you get better And it had worked before so I was sure, but I should’ve known I couldn’t keep you here forever And since the moment you left it’s been a snowball effect A tragic turn of events we had to learn to accept I wish that I could go back to the life that we had when you were around I wanna dream like I did when I was a kid but I feel so different now Part of my childhood dies every time I lose someone I care about Time keeps slipping by and I'm terrified But I have to learn to live without you And I don’t want to live in the past But it all went by so fast
