Lyrics

Gone but not forgotten
Strange how I remember so much more now that I've lost him
Gone far, far too soon
But what's a natural-born goner supposed to do
And I've been meaning to ask some of his old friends
If they'd be so kind to walk me through who he really was
When my mother called, she put it like it was something that happened to him
The poor thing probably didn't mean it, it was just somethin' he wound up doin
Well, us boys, we always have pushed our luck
Some days I wake up with child's eyes for the world
Some days I'm paralyzed in a primrose bed
Some days I wake up with nothing left to wake for
And I never ever want to try again
The older we get the deeper we love
The older we get the deeper we hurt
See, I know what your blood ran like
I know what your brain felt like
And I know if you could you'd probably say no you don't
You lived and you died by your own sword
Seeing black through rose
A limitless army and bulletproof cope
Penned in with pain by devil's thick brier
Memory mired in safety's desire
That which has no future has an unimpeachable past
But I try to think of the good and the awful and whatever reality had
He had a fucked up way of showing he cared
Like it was his way of loving or nothing, and don't you dare
It was the never fitting in
It was the ruminations
It was the fear he couldn't confront
It was being the goddamned older one
My heart breaks knowing I never got to use all this
But you never let me get that close
Opening up was waved off as a joke
You could never get out your own head
Now you're who knows where instead
I loved you the best that I could, though it was meek
You did the same, though it wasn't always how you treated me
A part of me, we were in so many ways the same
I'll do what I can to carry on what makes our name
