I was young and didn't realize,

How proud I am to have your eyes,

Or how you truly loved me,

That I could ever feel this lonely,

That a body could be so cold,

That I could be fatherless at 16 years old.

What do you do when your world falls apart,

When someone buries a knife in your heart,

Leaves it there until you go numb,

Then twists it until you're overcome,

You can't bite back the salty tears,

That have built up these past few years,

It's so hard whenever I think of you I fall apart.

I remember sitting with you,

In that long, comfy, wooden church pew,

Snuggling into your warm embrace,

Looking up at your gruff, hairy face,

Humming along to that sweet song,

But somehow you still looked so strong, so strong.

The sound of your voice is slipping away,

The memory fades day by day,

Seems like its been an eternity,

Since you've gone and left me,

I know someday I'll see you again,

But it doesn't stop this pain I'm feeling, feeling.

What do you do when your world falls apart,

When someone buries a knife in your heart,

Leaves it there until you go numb,

Then twists it until you're overcome,

You can't bite back the salty tears,

That have built up these past few years,

It's so hard whenever I think of you I fall apart.

I was young and didn't realize,

How proud I would be to have your eyes -your eyes.
