It's been ten long years since I got that call
And I still remember the weight
That crushed down on me when I heard you were gone
And the colors all faded to gray
Because all along you'd been fighting a war
Invisible but real just the same
Drowning neck deep in an ocean of failures
And demons that knew you by name
Self-destruct might seem like the solution
The voices inside, the voices can lie
Hold on til you find what the truth is
The voices inside, the voices can lie
It's been ten long years, and we're all still trying
To clean up the mess that you left long ago
With a patchwork quilt of memories slipping away
And a house full of grandchildren you'll never know
And yes I was angry, and yes I was scared
That someday all your demons would find me as well
But I swear I could never let them drag me to hell
Or make the ones I love most ever feel what I felt
Self-destruct might seem like the solution
The voices inside, the voices can lie
Hold on til you find what the truth is
The voices inside, the voices can lie
I can still hear you singing
I can still hear you singing
I can still hear you singing
I'm the last star to leave the sky
I'm the color in every sunrise
And I'm still here
So don't turn your back on me now
I'm the last star to leave the sky
I'm the color in every sunrise
And I'm still here
So don't turn your back on me now
So don't turn your back on me
