Never thought about how long, took it all for granted, now I've gotta face the facts how that you'll be
Prance past the street signs, not a care in the world, with a foolish ol' look plastered to your face
I seem to remember, not even a year ago, your sister choked on the breath that she couldn't hold
A frigid old needle to pass through the pain, knowin' that I'd never see her again
They couldn't fight the cold
Couldn't pull her from, the dark
And we cried and cried
At what we'd lost, and what never'd start
I see through your broken look, and into your eyes, a mess of things that you've tried to hide
But you can't keep on burying what's already gone, just robbin' yourself of a chance to move on
Forgive and forget, it ain't the only way, but you can't keep on drowning yourself in your pain
It's not an elixir, it won't keep you alive, you've gotta let it go or it's your soul that'll die
