That’s What It’s Like When....

Worlds fall apart

Nothing remains the same

Memories fade away

Something becomes nothing. 

That’s what it’s like when I lost you

I’ve wanted to take my life a million times

Until time took yours

Watching the waves of tears and grief

I’d never want to willing inflict

There I was lost and barely a man

Wishing I had asked so many questions when I was able not like now

Yet here we are, I’m alive and you’re dead

Worlds fall apart

Nothing remains the same

Memories fade away

Something becomes nothing. 

That’s what it’s like when I lost you

And now a distance grows deep in our blood

Your family fades

Into corners of their own lives 

Until we’re strangers and ignore our past

Here I was trying to make you proud 

I wasn’t close but I was working on

Being the best me I could be

Yet here we are, still trying to make you proud

Worlds fall apart

Nothing remains the same

Memories fade away

Something becomes nothing. 

That’s what it’s like when I lost you

There’s a bitterness

When a son doesn’t hear his father say

He’s proud of him

When it’s not his fault 

Dementia took you before death could

What’s left for him

Worlds fall apart

Nothing remains the same

Memories fade away

Something becomes nothing. 

That’s what it’s like when I lost you
