On the Track

I need to not let this bother me
Dry my tears, lift my head
Get up out of my bed
Start the coffee, clear my schedule
Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again
Some days you just want to lie
Pull on the mask and smile away
Faking the confidence you wish you had
Hoping that someday it’ll be real
Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again
Leave me alone, call me up
Doesn’t seem to ever matter much
My mind says I need to try harder
My body says I’m done for today
Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again
Get up and fall and wish for more
Nothing I do ever happens right
Still, it’s not like I can stop forever
Giving up just isn’t my style
Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
Get up, up, up and try again
Get on the track and go
Not much to lose but
Everything to gain now
So get up, up, up and try again

Never Forget

I’ll never forget how you laughed
The fun we had together
You were a friend to me
When no one else could be
I miss you so much some days
Have to pause and say your name
Just to hear it once again
Listen for the echo of your voice
What were we doing back then
So young and carefree and reckless
Have to journey another lifetime
To find someone like you again
Listen to me when I say
You were the best thing I ever had
Someday, I hope to pass on
The joy and peace you brought me
Whenever I needed a hand
Someone to tell my fears to
You were so patient with me
Always there to bring comfort
Days passed so quickly
In weeks, we were inseparable
So many adventures we shared
Together creating a whole new world
But you’re not here anymore
I’m left all alone now
Even though I still feel you near
You’re gone and never coming back
Miss you so much, but so grateful
For all the things you taught me
That I’m worthy of your kindness
Was the most important lesson of all

I miss you so much
Never going to forget you
Never forget a single day
I promise, I promise, I promise

You’re not here anymore
I’m left all alone now
Even though I still feel you near
You’re gone and never coming back

Greetings

So slowly, you fall
Float down, carried by the wind
Gentle is your way

Already Said

I keep looking up to find you
Wanting to watch you walk in
Hear your voice call out to me
Feel your hand touch mine
But you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now
I see something funny
Turn around to share it with you
The words are already on my lips
Your shadow’s there until I blink
But you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now
Feels like I should be falling apart
I’m fine though, perfectly okay
Can’t even remember why we started
Most days, it’s just a dream of mine
‘Cause you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now
You’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now
The more distant you are to me
The closer you seem in my dreams
Saying my name one more time
Before the flame is finally gone
And you’re not here anymore
We’ve already said our last goodbye
Even though I feel you near me
You’re so very far away now
