Still Need You Around (Lost Without You)

It's times like these where I lose myself in the stories my old man would tell about life, true love, and war; the kind of war where you beat yourself. Cause now I've got this stomach pain, the kind of pain that gets worse when the rain hits hard like my fist when I try to explain to the wall this mess I'm in. See, I'm tired now and my mind won't quit since I got the news that you were sick. I thought of life, of time, and death. If I could only use my breath I'd breathe my life into your lungs. With love and strength I have faith I will lift you up. It's a lesson learned. As we move on, I still need you around. I'd be lost without you. I'm not sure I could face this world on my own. No, I don't want to go on alone. No, I don't want to go on alone. I don't want to go. I'm terrified that this fear exists and I'm scared I'll come to terms with it, but that's life. You are what you leave. Like the simple lessons my dad taught me. I know we all grow old and die and make our place in another life. I'm glad that there's still time to let you know. So live it up, live it up. Cause you'll never know, never know. Time is always running. It will always guide you home. I've been up for the past few nights, worried sick but I'll be alright, because in death there's a whole new life where you'll be waiting for me.
