It's better this way
Sometimes I miss you more than ever
Seeing sunsets or paperclips
Seeing things you wouldve loved and not being able to tell you about it
I know you weren't the best
But at least you tried
Tried your best untill you died
Ive missed you every day since then
Not sure I'll ever stop
Might miss you till the day i die
But maybe that would be alright
I know you did your best
Did better than all the rest
You loved me till the day you died
Thats a debt i cant repay
Not even by telling you all I have to say
Lifes been worse since you left
Guess thats how it is with death
dont know how much you need them till theyre gone
Then cry when you hear their favorite song
Maybe ill grieve till the day I die
Thats how i know your love wasnt a lie
Everytime I see your face
I wonder if you couldve been saved
Maybe i couldve done something
Maybe its my fault
Maybe Im the reason you fell apart
I dont know what to do without you
My grief is stuck to me like glue
The strong kind that never goes away
No matter how long you spend scrubbing it
The glue that always lasts
Always brings me back to our past
Our days down at the river
When you tried your best to deliver
I got mad at you then
But now i would give anything
Anything to have you back
Even for a moment
Just to tell you how I feel
Maybe you'd like to hear it
I guess I'll never know how you felt
Or why you did it
But maybe its better off that way
Never knowing what you had to say
Some things are just like that
Some things you never get to hear
But maybe thats okay.
