Lyrics
Last time I saw you was a while ago
Figured I?d see you around
Said catch you later, how was I to know
You?d soon be gone without a sound
Now all I got?s my memory of you
How we resisted growin? old
Can?t help but smile at things we used to do
Those memories are wrapped in gold
It seems like it?s not real, like you?re not really gone
Almost feel you here still hanging ?round with everyone
Don?t understand it, what a tragic waste to leave so young
I hear the comments, both innocent and cruel
?Bout how it?s all in God?s plan
It?s no consolation, to what extent it?s true
Not sure I wanna understand
It seems like it?s not real, like you?re not really gone
Almost feel you here still hanging ?round with everyone
Don?t understand it, what a tragic waste to leave so young
No one could ever tell you what to do
Some guys were never meant to tame
But what I swear, as my salute to you
Is to guard the passing of your flame
It seems like it?s not real, like you?re not really gone
Almost feel you here still hanging ?round with everyone
Don?t understand it, what a tragic waste to leave so young
