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
