On that first day I held you close so glad that you were mine
Eyes much older than they were that didn't change with time
We grew up and I stayed close- as much as you'd allow
I don't know when it went wrong it doesn't matter now
I still catch my breath when I see your picture on the mantel
Oh if I could have borne that weight for you when it got too much to handle
Sometimes I believe the lie I'm not cut out for this
Sleepless nights so many why's- the senseless messages
Now when I get the chance to speak I don't know what to say
You fed me with your body once now you've never been further away
I still catch my breath when I see your picture on the mantel
Oh if I could have borne that weight for you when it got too much to handle
There were times I thought the worst one day it came true
Now I walk the halls you walked so long ago- I love you
Now I walk the halls you walked so long ago
