[chorus]
I’ve been so strong, but it’s been so long,
And the weight’s still there, because they’re still gone
Now it’s in a song, so my memories stay strong,
Hoping to mend, and find a way to move on.
[verse]
It’s been 5 and 10 years, and I’ve cried all my tears.
If I let one fall, they come one they come all.
I can still feel the ache in my chest,
it comes from holding my breath.
mmmhm
[pre-chorus]
If I let it all go, the world will end, and then no one will know,
And I won’t have to pretend I don’t still think about them
[musical interlude]
[musical interlude]
[chorus]
I’ve been so strong, but it’s been so long,
And the weight’s still there, because they’re still gone
[chorus continued]
...so my memories stay everlong,
Hoping to mend, and find a way to move on.
[musical interlude]
[verse]
I wake from dreams where they visit me,
Just an every day, where the past can play.
A good day, a trip, an argument, a quip,
[verse continued]
...A good day, a trip, an argument, a quip,
a liminal space where I can see their face.
[musical interlude]
[cello solo]
[bridge]
When I find I’m in a quite mind,
the world turns down, I take off my crown.
I sit and I be, - I feel, - I see, -they're here with me,
In my memories. Their legacies. Our melodies.
[musical interlude]
[chorus]
[bridge continued]
... Forever feel, they’re here with me.
[final chorus]
[outro]
I wake from dreams where they visit me
Just an every day, in the past where we play
I’ll take them all, and try not to fall.
I’m not even sad, I just miss you mom and dad.
