lyrics

Trying to write some songs about your life
has been the toughest part of mine
but it’s not like I still breakdown
if someone brings you up sometime

It’s been tough ‘cause I’m trying to find you
trying to find you deep beneath this haze
where I always bury my heartache
like some cursed prize inside a maze

Began to write some words about your gift
for always keeping moments light
then got sidetracked remembering
how you cut me down in our last fight

We were as close as any
but then again how close could any get?
my love for you is plenty
so much that I never got to spend

Like a gentle drum that stupid sun
beat down upon my cell phone’s screen
three missed calls triggered walls
so as to shield my childhood dream

That we all live forever
and every day we have is free
from the pain and silent sadness
in this critically acclaimed tragedy

You championed my artwork
more than anyone I ever knew
you made me laugh, you made me mad
we’ll always have Wayne’s World 2

I’ll miss my time beside you
and the bond we built between your days
I’ll carry on your kindness
celebrate each trail you tried to blaze
