Jimmy Craig - Livestrong lyrics

[Verse 1] November 12, 1981 You see, in my sky, this star's the only one You've been gone for so long, I don't remember your face All that I have are the memories that will never be replaced Or erased from my mind, picture's won't be misplaced Can't forget the day you left, tears soaked up my pillowcase I know you're in a better place, but that don't make it right It leaves us here alone, crying and sobbing every night You can't comprehend how much you mean to me I guess it's for the better, so you can watch over me I heard God takes the best to build up his defense It leaves me here crying man, look at me, I'm a f**ing mess Can we go back to the times of before? We really loved you Paul, but I guess God loved you more Can we go back to the times of before? We really loved you Paul, but I guess God loved you more [Chrous] Can you hear me? From where you're at? We think about you every day, and that's a fact I hope with my music that I'm making you proud Up in heaven looking down, protecting me all around No matter your trouble, remember you gotta stand tall If you ever need to talk you know I'm only one call Life has been so different ever since you've been gone But remember to keep your chin up and always livestrong [Verse 2] You're the only person that's been keeping me alive Without you I don't even know how I'd survive I'll admit, one time I contemplated suicide But then I looked up and I only saw your eyes Then I thought about how much it woulda hurt my family To see another tragedy, think of how crazy that'd be I thought about what life was like if I wasn't around But then I gave up that thought cause I was too proud And I also realized I got too much to live for I had so many emotions, but that's what this pen's for I decided to write lyrics to show people how I feel And how every single kid is more in depth than he appears And you f**ers need to think twice about how you treat your peers I stop and think about how different it would be if you were here In my dreams I have they help me feel like you're near But then I run closer, but you always disappear [Chorus] [Verse 3] Teardrops are falling on this paper as I write this When I look up in the sky, you're star shines the brightest All this pain I try so hard to conceal Sometimes it's too hard, and I'm forced to reveal Why'd it have to happen, that's what everybody says Everyday I wonder, when will I be next? If the good die young then why am I still alive? Why am I so special that He wants me to survive? It's incredible to think about how much you changed our lives I know I was so young cause man, I was only five Time goes by way too fast, it's so sad Whenever I see you I have to look through a gla** Remembering all the good times that we had in the past But struggle builds character and character's ever last We should be thankful for everyday we're blessed on the clocks Cause you can't ignore the door when d**h knocks, believe that [Chorus]
