20 years, lost his purpose but he still went on
Silent scream drowned in music when too weak to walk
Numbing rush isolated even amongst friends
Bright facade, shielding longing for a pressing end
I try, but I can't keep the image out
Fear, pain, guilt, clipped wings still life
Time froze with the look of innocence
No need to ask for forgiveness
All this time we were laughing, but still, you pushed on
Looking back the signs were clear enough
I regret, I looked beyond it; still, I had my doubts
Looking back, we were all the same
I tried to help. I tried to help. You turned away
The remnants of, I tried to help, a dying breath
20 years, time moves slower since you left
Images, the sound of laughter, time well spent
I regret, I never told you how much you meant
Wondering if this song will serve as a penance
I try, but I can't keep the image out
Fear, pain, guilt, clipped wings still life
Time froze with the look of innocence
No need to ask for forgiveness
I know you're looking down
Watching my every step
Reminding me that it's not over yet
