This body's tainted, all it feels is blue
These walls I've painted all resemble you
This house is haunted
But wherever I go, I'm gonna carry you with me
Until the day my heart stops beating
Is this part of growing up
Because you took a part of me
With hands reached out, the devil pulled the plug
I hope you're smiling down on me
Rest easy and know you were always good enough
I know these thoughts like venom eat away at us
Cuz now I'm staring off the edge of where I am and where I used to be
I've always been the selfish one, I need to know you're proud of me
I love you to pieces, but I am so selfish
Cuz you had to die just for me to tell you this
Is this part of growing up
Because you took a part of me
With hands reached out, the devil pulled the plug
I hope you're smiling down on me
I told you happiness is merely perspective
And that the lows come to rise as expected
But I can't recall any preface
Grace me with the strength to accept this
Though you're gone, you're waiting at the gates
I'm only here because God wouldn't let me take your place
I know you're smiling down on me
