Anchor & Braille - Wedding/Funeral Lyrics

This is for your wedding/funeral day
You always liked to be the center of attention
So here you are
Dressed so beautiful
Just like I remember
Always outshining the rest
Sun, moon, and stars
You face looks so content
As I walk to find a chair
Just a few feet away, but miles apart

Why did I let you go
How could I let you leave my side
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go
How could I let you leave my side
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild and learned

I'm a great burning lament to this day
But I realize now you're in a better place
Hands will tremble
As you're lowered down the aisle
But you won't look at me
Not so much as smile
I want to stand up and speak my peace
And let your hollow pieces walk away

Why did I let you go
How could I let you leave my side
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go
And let you leave my side
Would have been something
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go
How could I let you leave my side
Would have been something amazing
Should have been wild
Why did I let you go
How could I let you leave my side
Should have been something
Should have been wild and learned
