You were always there

Folder: 
2004

I'm never gonna see you again, you are gone

and now I feel as if I'm completely empty

when they told me you died I stopped breathing

I felt as if the life had been ripped right out of me

and now I see I loved you more than even I knew

and the tears kept falling down from my tear stained face

tatooed on my heart is the pain that I am feeling

and at the end of the day my heart is out of place



chorus

you were always there with a bottle of coke in your hand

jean shorts that are baggy and smiling when you can

you were always there with a hat on your head

sneakers on your feet, a camera around your neck



everybody loved you, you were so special

as you lead the song stay on the sunny side

I would sit on the bus and sing along

but each time my soul slowly died

you were never bitter, never complained

always friendly and positive filled with life

and everytime camp was over and we said goodbye

it was cutting my heart like a knife

chorus



I can still hear the way you laughed

the way you would ask if your hat was on straight

the way you would grasp each moment

and live as if there was no fate

chorus
