I remember when the world still made sense
And you had always been a part of it
Maybe I was just a bit too innocent
But I never thought that you'd be leaving like this
I remember all the things you taught me
I was with you in the garden planting seeds
Sharing space on the piano bench, playing keys
"How to be a man," and what that really means
I still depend on you, I see you in my dreams
You showed us all about what a good life really means
There's nothing I wouldn't leave behind
To have you in my life again
But you've already left us and
You made me the person I am
If I could see you once again
I'd tell you everything you meant
All the people who loved you and
You left them a story to tell
But you made me the person I am
Heaven got a little brighter when you came
I'm sure the angels already knew your name
Did you think about me as your breath slipped away
'Cause I think about you every day
I still depend on you, I see you in my dreams
You showed us all about what a good life really means
There's nothing I wouldn't leave behind
To have you in my life again
But you've already left us and
You made me the person I am
If I could see you once again
I'd tell you everything you meant
All the people who loved you and
You left them a story to tell
But you made me the person I
I miss you all the time
I've got this hole inside
I try to fill by living with the strength with which you died
There's nothing I wouldn't leave behind
To have you in my life again
But you've already left us and
You made me the person I am
If I could see you once again
I'd tell you everything you meant
All the people who loved you and
You left them a story to tell
But you made me the person I am
