When you're old enough

When you've been through it

You won't know what it's like

You can't see things the same

But you're closer now

Did you close your eyes?

Did I close them first?

You weren't strong enough

I'm no stronger than you

But the years take their toll on us all

I'm starting to see why you drifted away after all

And no one explains to you

Where the things go that you love

'Till they're already gone

You held on for us

The house gathered dust

We were selfish then

And we held on to things

But they're all gone now

Did I take too long?

Did I ask too much?

I didn't love you as much as I could

The silence is killing me now

I'm starting to see why you drifted away after all

And no one explains to you

Where the things go that you love

How many times will I try to pretend that you're here?

And I had a few questions I never got to ask you in time

'Cause you'd already gone
