Gizzy

Verse 1: Though you whimpered when you walked Still licked at my tears as I talked You and I both were nine Each in too much pain to whine Held on so tight, thought you might crack despite the sores that raced down your back That morning you were scheduled to die Too young to say anything more than "goodbye". Chorus: My best friend since I could speak Laying in my arms, so weak I wish I had then what I have now A way for me to tell you how You saved me so when all was dark And the love you gave had left a mark Oh Gizzy, I wish that you could see the man that I grew up to be Verse 2: My mom had called you a mutt Your gentle soul was anything but Together we braved the world outside And when he came home we would hide You didn't know how to hit and yell In that basement we would cast our spell Waiting for those creaking stairs and the not-dad who had no care Chorus: My best friend since I could speak Laying in my arms, so weak I wish I had then what I have now A way for me to tell you how You saved me so when all was dark And the love you gave had left a mark Oh Gizzy, I wish that you could see the man that I grew up to be Bridge: I didn't have the strength to follow My whole body leadened with sorrow I watched you carried through that door And soon I knew you were no more For my whole life you've lived on inside With every step, you’re by my side Your love still guides me through the dark A light that will always warm my heart Chorus: My best friend since I could speak Laying in my arms, so weak I wish I had then what I have now A way for me to tell you how You saved me so when all was dark And the love you gave had left a mark Oh Gizzy, I wish that you could see the man that I grew up to be
