To Care for Those Who Cared for Us

We commemorate the life you lead

As only the forgotten are truly dead

I'll treasure every word you said

As only the forgotten are truly dead

 

Bewildered and alone

The world keeps moving as you turn to stone

Watching the light as it starts to fade

Regret sets in and I wish I'd stayed

I wish I'd stayed

I wish you'd stayed

 

Despite the pieces that you miss

I hope you're ignorance is bliss

 

We commemorate the life you lead

As only the forgotten are truly dead

I'll treasure every word you said

As only the forgotten are truly dead

 

Every time we're together it's the roll of a dice

I'm grieving while you're still here

Why do I have to do this twice?

 

Every time we're together it's the roll of a dice

Why do I have to do this twice?

 

Your mind unravels like a loose thread

Only the forgotten are truly dead

Given hope to only be mislead

Only the forgotten are truly dead

 

I've always seen you as a father

But I never knew the man

I'm here by your side

Even when you forget who I am

 

I know you can't remember

Just know I'll never forget

 

I've always seen you as a father

But I never knew the man

I'm here by your side

Even when you forget who I am

 

We commemorate the life you lead

As only the forgotten are truly dead

I'll treasure every word you said

As only the forgotten are truly dead
