Pat Fortney - I Remember You Lyrics

I grew up next to you
Tried to do everything you do
But I wasn't what you were

When I was young
I told everyone
What a great man that you was

And then you went off to war
And fought for everyone
And when you came back you weren't the same one

I saw it in your eyes
And heard your midnight cries
You were screaming for anyone to hear

But no one listened
They never saw the pain
But I reached out; tried to pull you from the rain

But you were too far gone
To let me help you along
You were buried in the drugs to help you forget

And along the way
You lost your way
To find the one to help; help you through the pain

We moved our separate ways
But I heard one day
That you were gone and you couldn't be saved

I grew up next to you
Tried to do everything you do
But I wasn't what you were

But I wasn't what you were
I remember what you were
