lyrics

Without your permission
You were brought into this world
You had to run
As soon as your feet hit the ground

One night you called me
Before you took your life
I didn't realize
You were saying goodbye

Sometimes I talk to you
And wonder what you'd say
Sometimes I pretend
I'll see you again someday

If I were older
If I were wiser at the time
I could have stopped this
Could have prevented this

Now you're swimming in the black
Now you're swimming in the back of my mind

Sometimes I see you
In the middle of a crowd
I see your ghost
On the faces of strangers

I wish things were different
But life is all about
loss

Sometimes I talk to you
And wonder what you'd say
Sometimes I pretend
I'll see you again someday

If I were older
If I were wiser at the time
I could have stopped this
Could have prevented this
