I wasn't dreaming
He never came home
You have to accept it
Have to learn to be alone
Know how to get angry
Without leaving holes in the wall
You're allowed to feel everything
Or nothing at all
I wish I could tell you
It gets better with time
I wish that the punishment
Always matched the crime
But the world doesn't care
About fairness or justice
And the wound doesn't heal
You just learn to ignore it
He isn't dreaming
She's not coming home
And once he's done grieving
He'll just be alone
I am responsible
For giving him closure
If I don't help him, then who will?
Do it for your brother
Do it for the boy you were
If I don't help him, no one will
I wish I could tell him
It gets better with time
I wish that the punishment
Always matched the crime
But the world doesn't care
About fairness or justice
And the wound doesn't heal
You just learn to ignore it
I wish I could tell him (Wish I could tell her she would've been fine)
It gets better with time
Wish that the punishment
We watched black and white movies
Always matched the crime
You played John Lennon in the car
But the world doesn't care
About fairness or justice
And the wound doesn't heal
You just learn to ignore it
