Eight eighteen he's somewhere living another life
Leaving behind his kids and his forgiving good wife
How do they get on with their lives now without him
Still loved him even though he pushed them to the brim
We all have a memory of that wonderful one sacred day
When the things say and done stuck to us we wish to stay
Always pushing people away to protect us all from the pain
But in each others hearts we all left a great big lingering stain
You body slowly fading away from all the hard life you lived through
We were preparing for the worse you just thought we gave up on you
But we were never ready when we got the news at nine twenty at night
All the little memories flooded back into our minds tears blurring our sight
Thoughts racing through our minds we should have went when we heard
I saw you the day before said to take care not knowing that's the last word
From me you would hear even though we didn't say it we cared
We both know we were just too stubborn, hard, and so scared
Afraid to feel love when we know it never lasts forever
Through all the **** we still cared and would not never
Eight eighteen you left us behind and nine twenty we known
They say only one was with you but you faced it on your own
All your life you were never alone but near the end it felt like it
Felt like no one was there for you but then you saw we gave a ****
Your point of view changed for the better
Your body faded so far away to a feather
In so much pain but now you're finally free
And truly happy I hope you can finally be
