my lips just won't work into a smile today
because no one wants it to happen that way
i didn't know him, but i know those he left behind
and i know all they want is to just rewind
but all they have a chance to do is ask why
and just sit, and think, and let their hearts cry
that's what hurts me more that anything
having to stand by and watch their grieving
only able to give a maybe needed distraction
but unable to do what's really needed, answer a question
i guess i always knew that twenty three was unlucky
but i never thought it'd bring this. we'll miss you, Jesse.
