The world kept turning when you left Cars still drove, people still laughed, clocks still ticked But mine stopped the day heaven called your name And I still ain’t figured out how to move through this silence without you in it It hurts to see you go, hurts more each night I still look for your name when my phone lights bright We were just alive, just talking yesterday Now I’m standing in the rain while your memory stays Life ain’t the same, colors faded to gray Every laugh we had now just echoes away I replay old moments like a worn out tape Trying to hold your voice before it fully escapes You fought your battles with a soul so tired Still carried everybody while your heart was on fire And now the sky got another set of wings While I’m down here drowning in unfinished things How it pains me to see you go How it pains me to see you go Heaven gained an angel from this world below And I know you deserved those wings after your war But my heart still breaks every time I miss you more Life goes on but I don’t know how ‘Cause part of me got buried in the silence now I hope heaven gives you peace and love so true But friend, this world still hurts without you Time needs to stop for a little while Let me sit with the memories, let me hear your smile Let me make more room for the friendship we had Before grief turned every good thought sad I still talk to the stars when the night hangs low Wondering if somehow you still know Know I tried, know I cared, know I stayed Even when the world around us started to fade And I hate that goodbye came way too fast Nobody tells you which moment’s your last Now your chair sits empty, your laugh disappeared And I’m learning how to survive the thing I feared How it pains me to see you go How it pains me to see you go Heaven gained an angel from this world below And I know you deserved those wings after your war But my heart still breaks every time I miss you more Life goes on but I don’t know how ‘Cause part of me got buried in the silence now I hope heaven gives you peace and love so true But friend, this world still hurts without you Still here breathing while you’re beyond the clouds Trying to stay strong but grief screams loud Some days I smile, some days I break Some nights I still can’t accept fate You deserved comfort you couldn’t find here A place without pain, without trauma or fear So maybe heaven wrapped you in open light And finally gave your soul a peaceful night But I miss you friend, more than words explain Missing you became another form of pain And no matter how many years pass through My heart will always carry pieces of you How it pains me to see you go Yeah it pains me to see you go This earth lost a light when heaven took you home And though life keeps moving, mine still stands still Trying to heal wounds that never fully will I hope the angels sing your heart to sleep And hold the broken parts you couldn’t keep You earned those wings after all you went through And my heart My heart will never forget you So if heaven has windows I hope you see me still trying Still surviving Still carrying your memory like a candle in a storm. Until we meet again, friend Rest easy
