I call you up to hear your voice I know it's lame; I have no choice Now what am I supposed to do? It's all that I have left of you I know that it has been years But despite crying many tears They've never stopped or healed My broken heart & how it feels Since the day you didn't come home I 've left your voicemail on the phone Your things are how they were left I haven't changed anything yet I just can't bring myself around To the fact that you're in the ground Because I can feel you here with me Exactly where I need you to be I have all the pictures you made Been on the frig since second grade It's like you never went away And I need it to stay that way Your clothing still smells like you I can't even clean your room I open the window each day So, you can come in & play I still long to see your face I wish I could take your place So young & carefree of heart Your passing tore me apart It's something I can't accept Perhaps until my own death
