Looks like this is the only time we'll get to talk
But there will be no response, no chance to go for a walk
This will be the one time you will have to listen
Hopefully I cover it all, and don't leave any importance missing
Here's what I wish I'd say
Here's the inside of my heart on this very day
I wish there was something I could do
To make you see that it was all true
Everybody knew
Yet you did not have even a clue
I wish I could of saved your drowning soul
It was once so beautiful and pure as gold
I hope you know I have a piece of you with me all the time
But if you knew who I was now, it would be such a crime
I'm not the person you raised
In fact, most of the time I'm confused and dazed
I don't have the respect for myself that you taught me
I'm not the person that I wish I could be
I wish you didn't leave me in my time of need
Maybe then you could watch me succeed
Into the beautiful flower that I strive to become
But day after day we were slowly left with none
And here I am.
I am here, standing looking up at what's left of you
I hope one day my dreams come true
Maybe it would someday make you proud
And you'd set free rain unleashed from the clouds
And I'll just close my eyes and smile
