There’s a large handful of people I’ve loved that I no longer have When the floods came they washed away Erosion left behind cracks with their names in the shattered pavement of my hometown And even now when I step over them on the sidewalk What I mean to say is I wish you no ill will No broken backs When I see you growing small weeds between broken promises and heartache What I mean to say is I hope after this storm That there will be sun That even now I can only hope for growth
