Memories Of You

Government been saying these wars are for our freedom I don't really think that I believe them They risking their life if they make it home With no respect is how people treat them But I still pay respect to the ones that might die for corruption and grieve For the ones in D.C., that could never be me While I sit on my phone and I'm watching TV In the house while they see y'all fighting for what you believe They shipping our sons and brothers overseas Sometimes it still feel like you here But you never made it home back to me We were family, not just only friends They knocked on your door with a folded flag At your funeral, the tears are rolling back Damn, I wish we could go on back We were supposed to just grow old together Shit, go on the road together When you died, it was so hard to hold together Now the place that you in, I know it's better To this day, I still drive by your home Sometimes I'll leave a message on your phone Sit by your grave just hugging your stone I know that you watching me, I'm not alone These thoughts in my head I'm pushing them down, 'cause I can't face it no more I thought I'd be fine(be fine) We made some plans, and then it didn't work out And now I'm stuck in the house Feels like I'm falling(falling) What am I to do? Memories of you, like you're always in the room(always in the room) When we meet again, I gotta see you, friend Tell you I love you It's been so many years, still can't believe you're not here When I think about you, I'm still shedding a tear See you in heaven, would grab us a beer When I lost you, I started not thinking so clear Wishing life so i ain't have to, it ain't be the same since you passed dude Drinking and drugging, and smoking and drowning the emotions 'Cause I'm in a bad mood Since we were kids, talking about dreams Both of us knew what we wanted to be I dreamt of the music and selling out shows But you just wanted to be a marine, sometimes I wish that you were never deployed Picture the way that my life would be different, I'm getting older now all I got left is these memories fading Because we were children, we turned 18, everything changed, you left as a kid but came Back as a man, hard to believe you were ready for war with them boots on your feet And the gun in your hand, God had a plan that I couldn't accept When he took your breath, you never came home I turned to drinking to cope with the losses so to this day I'm not feeling These thoughts in my head I'm pushing them down, 'cause I can't face it no more I thought I'd be fine(be fine) We made some plans, and then it didn't work out And now I'm stuck in the house, feels like I'm falling What am I to do? Memories of you, like you're always in the room(always in the room) When we meet again, I gotta see you, friend Tell you I love you I told my kids all about you What a good man you were And how much I miss you still right now I got your face on my arm You're stuck there at 19 Guess you couldn't grow with me and not put a hold on me These thoughts in my head I'm pushing them down, 'cause I can't face it no more I thought I'd be fine(be fine) We made some plans, and then it didn't work out And now I'm stuck in a house, feels like I'm falling(falling) What am I to do? Memories of you, like you're always in the room(always in the room) When we meet again, I gotta see your friend Tell you I love you
