The Beautiful Dead

Nancy

There are certain people in our lives
Who we don't even realize
Mean so much to us
And as soon as they're gone 
We realize we were wrong

To ignore them
We cry every night
Hoping that they might
Come back
But they're gone forever
Their voices will never 
Be heard again

We hope that they are listening
As we are slowly whispering 
Our prayers
We try to forget
That they have truly left
We pretend we're alright
But on the inside
We're fighting our tears

We watched them get buried
A sight so very scary
To our eyes
We cried the whole time
Wondering why
It wasn't us

We separate ourselves
From everyone else
So we wouldn't get hurt
But our lives have changed forever
Because now you're gone forever
And we miss you

We hope you know that 
We really want you back
And we regret
Ignoring you
Because we never knew
You'd be gone so soon
