Lyrics
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali, there were no words to stop the bullets
Concrete dreams, I could never leave
I go back to when we were 13 and 15 and 17
For nights with the coldest breeze
All that we hoped to be
When we smiled with all our teeth
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali, there were no words to stop the bullets
You should've left your home
I told you to go
I told you it wouldn't be safe
I told you it wasn't the way
You should've left your home
I told you to go
I told you it wouldn't be safe
Oh, how I prayed and I prayed
And since the angel was at your door
I can't walk by anymore
You slipped through my arms
I see you on your sister's shirt
And it's hard to mask the hurt
And it's hard to mask your worth
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali, there were no words to stop the bullets
Now it's only me that needs to save himself
Feel like I can't be here while you're in that realm
Oh, I need time
Oh, I need time
Oh, I need time to mourn you
Time to mourn you (Ali)
(Started off as nothing and became something, became something)
(No, I don't wanna get pushed around, pushed around)
