See Your Face

Words on the tip of my tongue, but pressed into my cheek
It wasn't out of place, but felt new to me
There was still so much left to say to you
It brings me down
I hope you find your peace when you rest your head
You're painless and sure in a hospital bed
I've got big shoes to fill, but there's plenty of space
You wore them out

Seems like holding the world on my shoulders
While I'm fighting the voice in my head

Don't want to do this on my own
Take the long way home
Don't want to do this on my own
Yeah, I could never run away
Still got to brave today
You look at me and say
I've got a long way to go before I see your face

How do I sense you so close when your body lies cold?
It was inspiring how you lived so bold
Left me so much to live up to
Won't let you down
I know I'll find my way as I love each day
Looking to mirror the example you gave
Your heart will live on deep inside me
You won't fade out

Seems like I'm holding the world on my shoulders
While I'm fighting the voice in my head

Don't want to do this on my own
Take the long way home
Don't want to do this on my own
Yeah, I could never run away
Still got to brave today
You look at me and say
I've got a long way to go before I see your face

Some days I come and dress your headstone
I tell you I miss you, but never say goodbye
We're still trying to do our best without you
Remembering that every man must die

Don't want to do this on my own
Won't you please come come
Don't want to do this on my own
Yeah, I could never run away
Still got to brave today
You look at me and say
I've got a long way to go before I see your
