lyrics

I didn’t see you all the time,
‘Cause between us is a border line.
And I can’t forget that August day,
When my parents said you’ve gone away.
Living with it couldn’t have been easy,
And it took you so much sooner than we thought.
And by the time I said goodbye,
You couldn’t hear me when I cried.
If you can hear me now, know I never forgot.

Coming from the same, To whom you sang when I was young.
Would you be disappointed I never learned the mother tongue,
Or would you be proud To see how far I’ve come along?
I’m hoping it’s the latter, ‘Cause the first seems so much sadder.
Now that you’re gone.

The neighbors’ window has no pane,
And now you’ll have no more again.
The sheep across the street I didn’t count
‘Cause I never did sleep at your house.
Living with him couldn’t have been easy,
But I hope you know he loved us nonetheless.
The smoke shines through the sunlight beams,
You’re ladybugs dart in between.
We come to you beside him when you rest.

Coming from the same, That seldom straid from your backyard.
Would you be disappointed I was caught inside your car,
Or would you be proud To see how far I’ve carried on?
I’m hoping it’s the latter, ‘Cause the first seems so much sadder.
Now that you’re gone.

It’s not like I don’t want to live like you did per se,
I just that I don’t want to die in the same way.

All you ever wanted
Was to see us when we’re grown.
But now we’re here remembering you
Behind this microphone.
A lot has changed since you went away,
But it’s for the best, I swear.
There’s so many thing I need to say,
But for now, just know I care.
Now that you’re gone
