Do you know how many people you left or how many people cried I wish you could have counted the tears that came from everybody's eyes I stopped counting the nights that I was jolted wide awake By the nightmares of watching as you finally break You left them behind and I tried to stay strong Because you left someone special who could not carry on He thought about you and the times you shared every single day And I few times I could have sworn that I saw him pray Begging and pleading with a power that may not even exist To bring you back home because you are truly missed He loved you, you know so much it hurt to watch As he sat in the garage and cursed trying to fill your spot "I can't do this" he would tell me and he'd curse a little more "I can't do this" he'd stutter and fall upon the floor I picked up the pieces and hoped that he'd understand That he didn't need to replace you he was still a great man His pain was shadowed by others people who were closer to you on paper So he stepped back and comforted others and saved his pain for later But I'm sure you didn't think of any of this when you grabbed the gun But I hope you can see that we had nowhere to run We will feel the pain and we will feel the sorrow Because we have to face everyday knowing that you aren't in our tomorrow
