I've been working on my music now for ten years

But my buddy Josh turned it into my career

We were thirteen when we made our first band

And from that moment on I knew I had to take a chance

But when the band broke up me and Josh stayed friends

And knew that we'd be with each other til the end

And we were but it came too soon

Cause Josh lost his fight with depression at 22

I already knew he was struggling it had been some time

Since his family told me details 'bout his life

So I wasn't surprised when I heard the news

But you never think this sort of thing will happen to you

And now it's been a year and there hasn't been a word written

Only tears cause I wish that it had went different

And I fear no one will remember his name

But I ain't gonna let him fade away

So this one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost

Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot

This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off

I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God

This one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost

Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot

This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off

I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God

I was shocked when I found out but it made sense

Cause things were always tense back home with the 'rents

And his meds didn't help he never felt like belonged

But even still I can't believe my friend is really gone

Cause I wrote my first song cause of him

He said that drummers couldn't write

So I taught myself piano on a whim

And the thing is we fought so much but we'd recover

That's why I never wonder what its like to have a brother

I wish I could of helped him but every single time

When I asked him "how you holding up" he told me his was fine

And I took him at his word we were so competitive

So the stories that he told me were highly edited

He's the Bennington to my Shinoda can't believe he won't get older

Only thing that gives me closure is his pain is finally over

Now I shoulder his legacy with pride

I just wish that I could have said goodbye

So this one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost

Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot

This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off

I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God

This one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost

Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot

This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off

I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God

This one goes out to Josh

And all the people that we've lost yeah

Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot

I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God

This one goes out to Josh

And all the people that we've lost
