I hope I made you proud Today I put paper to pen Like I've done many times before But it's time, I can't deny The loss that I felt inside So I kept my distance But I'd go back if somehow Your brief existence An emptiness I can't resist A memory is not enough My world has fallen apart And all I have left A smiling face without an embrace I closed my heart to tried and hide From a void that I can't describe But in a child's eyes I realized That this empty space can't be replaced I'd fall from grace for your embrace I'm sorry that I stayed away I fall and pray that you'd save me Kissing your grave, tracing your name How did my heart become so jaded Was it the guilt or just remorse? I keep coming back to this It's your smile that I still miss Help me keep my life on course And though your life pa**ed We'll stay together And when I'm laid to rest You'll be my light forever I'd fall from grace for your embrace I'm sorry that I stayed away I fall and pray that you'd save me Kissing your grave, tracing your name
