Last night I had a dream you came back to the family
Sat across the table talking like we finally had some peace
You looked at me and smiled then you wrapped your arms around me
Woke up in the dark room reality still found me
Every empty chair still reminds me of your name
Nothing in this house has ever really felt the same
I'd give anything to tell you what I couldn't back then
Hoping this is just a story with no end
8 years gone I still replay the scene inside my head
Every word I should've swallowed every word I left unsaid
I was young I didn't know how heavy lies could really get
Thought I knew the truth back then but I was wrong I admit
Misunderstood your heart painted pictures in my mind
Never looked for any proof just believed what I found
You were carrying your battles while I added to the weight
Now I wonder if forgiveness even comes this late
Maybe it's too late
Maybe
Maybe there's still time
I guess
Every night I close my eyes
You're still crossing my mind
If I could press rewind I'd erase that day
Take back every word that pushed your heart away
This house got quieter after you were gone
Now I'm singing to you through another song
If you ever coming back I’ll leave the porch light on
Funny how a memory can freeze inside your chest
Everybody tells you time will help you get some rest
But every birthday passes every holiday feels strange
The calendar keeps moving but my days don't ever change
I'm the only kid around these walls don't feel the same
Your room's another reminder every time I say your name
But I've been growing older trying hard to be a man
Learning that admitting when you're wrong is where it all began
