I never knew what life would be, growing up with everything, not having much but still
Being happy
Be a part of searching deep, filling voids that hurt me, crying for what was gone
Just trying to hold on
Nobody is prepared for this, so young and lost as a kid, not know why you left us alone
But the pieces of the puzzle fit, and the glue that is love did fix
Mom held my hand, wiped my tears, I don't want to be anything like you
Cause you hurt me, it broke me deep, and now I know,
You were gone
And those were the days, that made me who I am, these days you were gone
And those were the days, that made me who I am, these days
I've grown up and tried to move on, but the times still break and cry, some days
I want to help anyone, show them the light is still on, you never have to be alone again
Just believe, and believe
Come on, times get tough, and we will be okay
Cause, there's a rainbow after the storm goes away, just keep moving, you'll be okay
I do believe, you will see, you'll be okay
You were gone
And those were the days, that made me who I am, these days
Oh yeah, yeah
You were gone
And those were the days, that made me who I am, these days
Oh yeah
It'll be alright
We'll be okay, these days
