As I stare into space
The flashback came
A single teardrop welled in my eye


It's so unreal
Like a nightmare

Trying to wake up
To no avail


The news that came
That fateful day
It hit so hard, I couldn't breathe

They said, "He's gone."
These words replayed over and over in my head


Why must you go?
You're still so young
Why would you not listen to us?

Why make us suffer?
Why make us cry?
Why leave us all behind?


I wish this was just a dream
Wish I could turn back the time

Wish I had stopped you
Wish I was right there
Then you'll still be here with us


Your room's untouched
It looks the same

Only you're not here anymore

Your smell lingers

But it's fading
All I can cling on is your perfume


The news that came
That fateful day
It hit so hard, I couldn't breathe

They said, "He's gone."
These words replayed over and over in my head


Why must you go?
You're still so young
Why would you not listen to us?

Why make us suffer?
Why make us cry?
Why leave us all behind?


I wish this was just a dream
Wish I could turn back the time

Wish I had stopped you
Wish I was right there
Then you'll still be here with us


No matter where I am
I still see you everywhere oh no


Why must you go?
You're still so young

Why would you not listen to us?
Why make us suffer?
Why make us cry?

Why leave us all behind?

I wish this was just a dream

Wish I could turn back the time
Wish I had stopped you
Wish I was right there

Then you'll still be here with us

Wish I had stopped you

Wish I was right there
Then you'll still be here with us
