Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to go as soon as you did?
Why did you have to go and leave a hole in my heart when you went away?,
Why can I never ask you for advice again?
Why can we never do the crossword again?
I was so upset when you died,
I still went into school though,
just to get my mind off the pain that I felt,
I know you would’ve been proud of me,
My teacher talked to my dad,
Said I was quieter than normal,
But I think maybe I was trying to be strong, for you,
Maybe I was trying to be strong
I still sort of remember the funeral,
We were all in black obviously,
but at the same time,
we were trying to make it a happy occasion,
A celebration,
Remembering the life, he lived and the fame and experiences you had,
All I wonder is?
All I wonder is?
All I wonder is what life would be like now, if you were still here
