Standing With You

Sometimes you take for granted what you have.
In retrospect I did this to you my dad.
You said you were sick, and I couldn't believe.
My true emotions I couldn't retrieve.

Life seems so long till your told it is done.
The fights. the laughs, and all of the fun.
Your silly antidotes I heard every day.
Now they come from my own mouth without any delay.

I was so mad when I realized the truth.
Nothing would save you, no more you pursued.
You gave up too easy and then it was done.
You were here one night, then gone with the sun.

I hope you'll forgive me for being so cruel.
I acted real careless and I played the fool.
I wish I didn't run from the pain.
This thought so resounding it drives me insane.

I remember all the times you said I was blessed.
Not a naive man, you knew I was a mess.
You had faith in my future, you knew I'd pull through.
Things have changed now all thats missing is you,

I cant take back all the things that I said,
I cant change your last memories of the life I led.
I just hope you knew that just wasn't me.
You saved my life, I truly believe.

Each night in my dreams I'm with you again.
I tell you repeatedly that you are my best friend.
Until the day these dreams can come true.
In my every thought I'm standing by you.
