[Verse 1] Listen up and take a minute I need to tell you why I do the things the way I do And weeks are flying by I'm trying to fill a void In my life these days By filling it with work and work And accomplishments and praise [Chorus] Anything that keeps me busy Anything that keeps me up Cause if I start to let it out I think I'm never gonna stop Afraid I'm never gonna stop [Verse 2] Listen up and take a minute Wherever you are I've been mourning you with the bottle
And with my guitar [Chorus] For this song I sat myself Down to put in words What's underneath and what's unsaid How much this whole thing hurts How much this whole thing hurts [Verse 3] Listen up just take a minute I need to tell you why I do the things the way I do So months are flying by [Chorus] Since you're gone it isn't always easy All I do is run But the hardest part, the hardest part Was growing up your son Was growing up your son
