The air was ****** from my lungs. I cried and cried and couldn't let-up. These tears were different-- They brought no release. A pain so profound I felt it in my chest, in my head. My body weakened, I couldn't move from my bed. I wanted desperately to go back to sleep And for all of this to be another awful dream. Years ago I cried for you, Today I cry for me. For I know you're in a better place, But I'm stuck here And in my heart a you-shaped hole remains. I wish the world was blessed enough to know you. I miss you every day. I'll never stop missing you, loving you... So I cry today.

Cry Today
The air was ****** from my lungs. I cried and cried and couldn't let-up. These tears were different-- They brought no release. A pain so profound I felt it in my chest, in my head. My body weakened, I couldn't move from my bed. I wanted desperately to go back to sleep And for all of this to be another awful dream. Years ago I cried for you, Today I cry for me. For I know you're in a better place, But I'm stuck here And in my heart a you-shaped hole remains. I wish the world was blessed enough to know you. I miss you every day. I'll never stop missing you, loving you... So I cry today.
