Age 19 is never easy
When the world seems to hate me
Places like this make it feel so real
Showing the truth in what I feel
New place, new friend
Set in the same situation
With me until the end
My dreams were filled with nightmares
My screams they echoed the halls
She'd say "don't be sorry"
"I know it's not your fault"
She'd hand me a guitar
And sing a lullaby
I'd strum along
And feel a calm inside
Always been struck by gray skies
Most of my life
But when I looked in her eyes
Out came the sunrise
The moments drawn together
Carved in this heart of mine
So I'll carry her memory
With me for life
Brand new day, brand new note
Left on my nightstand to give me hope
It lit up every single morning
Each one a new favorite memory
Partners in crime
A bond so unbreakable
Barricading doors
With our middle fingers to the sky
Country music blaring through the stereo
Belting the words to piss the neighbors off
Church and Cash and Brooks & Dunn
Going through the "Ring of Fire"
Always been struck by gray skies
Most of my life
But when I looked in her eyes
Out came the sunrise
The moments drawn together
Carved in this heart of mine
So I'll carry her memory
With me for life
Not a day goes by that I don't miss her
I carry her light in my heart
When I can't sleep
I write a melody
And she sings along
With the angels up above
I sing "Childhood friends lose touch when growing old"
Then close my eyes and say a prayer before I go
Always been struck by gray skies
My whole f*cking life
But when I looked in her eyes
Out came the sunrise
The moments drawn together
Carved in this heart of mine
So I'll carry her memory
Carry her memory
Carry her memory
With me for life
