Lyrics
I miss you now more than I did
I feel a stronger sense of longing for you at this moment compared to the past.
When you left me I was only a kid
When you left, I was still a child and didn't fully grasp the implications.
With no idea what all this would mean
I had no understanding of the impact your departure would have.
All the words left unsaid and sights left unseen
There are things I never expressed and experiences I never shared with you.
Can you hear me now? Because I'm down on my knees
I'm in a difficult situation, and I wonder if you can sense my plea.
I hope you know that I still see you in my dreams
Even in my dreams, I continue to see you, indicating your lasting presence.
A part of me is gone and it always will be
A part of me is permanently lost due to your absence.
But there's a part of you here that I still carry with me
However, I carry a part of you within me, symbolizing a lasting connection.
So many have gone I hope no more will go
I've experienced many losses, and I hope to avoid more in the future.
The good times are fast but the bad are so slow
Good times pass quickly, but difficult moments linger.
I miss those now that I never can see
I miss those I can never see again.
But there's still so many that I love who are right here with me
Despite the losses, I cherish those I still have in my life.
You left me next
Referring to someone who left before.
Tell me, why did you leave?
Questioning the reasons behind the departure, seeking an explanation.
Tell me I'm wrong
Asking for confirmation or correction if the assumption is wrong.
Please tell me to believe you weren't done yet
Pleading to believe that the departed person had more to experience in life.
And you didn't want your end
Expressing a desire for the departed person not to have chosen their own end.
And if nothing more you know that you had a friend
Acknowledging the existence of a friendship, even if it couldn't prevent the end.
I talk to you too I hope you're able to see
Continuing to communicate with the departed person in some way.
I didn't help you but that you still help me
Although unable to help in the past, the departed person still provides support.
If you were here now then I would sit down with you
If the departed person were present, a desire to offer support and companionship.
Say "I'm here when you need me"
Expressing a commitment to be there for the departed person when needed.
That is the truth
Asserting the truthfulness of the commitment to support.
So many have gone I hope no more will go
Reiteration of the hope to avoid further losses.
The good times are fast but the bad are so slow
Highlighting the contrasting pace of enjoyable moments and challenging times.
I miss those now that I never can see
Expressing the continued longing for those no longer present.
But there's still so many that I love who are right here with me
Despite losses, acknowledging the presence of loved ones still in the current life.
Four long years have gotten you here
Reflecting on a significant span of time that led to the current situation.
I scream to myself while we talk over beer
An internal struggle expressed while engaging in casual conversation.
I want you to listen to the things I've never said
Desire for the departed person to truly understand unspoken thoughts.
You sacrificed your days for the comfort of bed
Acknowledging sacrifices made for the sake of comfort and rest.
So many have gone, I don't want you to go
Expressing a reluctance for another loss, hoping the person won't leave.
So I'll buy us drinks after you play your show
Commitment to celebrate together after the person's performance.
You make your choices
Acknowledging the individual's freedom to make choices in life.
What will be will be
Acceptance of the uncertain outcomes that life may bring.
But if there's one choice I can make then please make it
A specific plea to not be abandoned, emphasizing the importance of the connection.
And don't abandon me
A plea repeated, urging the person not to abandon the speaker.
Please don't abandon me
A final plea, emphasizing the fear and desire to avoid abandonment.
