You're Gone
I remember the night as clear as day
I remember the phone call
Every word
Every phrase
It felt like the world stopped spinning for a minute
A pain worse than a wound from a bullet
Sitting on the porch staring at the stars I once loved
Only reminds me of the pain
It only reminds me of the words they said
As they spin around and around in my head
The fact that you're gone is so hard to accept
We used to talk
We used to laugh
You were my friend you can't replace what we had
So now as I sit here alone I'll say a silent prayer
Let the tears fall and ask God to take away my despair
And take comfort in the fact that you're in a better place
Even knowing that can't take away this pain
