lyrics

I think about how you’d be doing today
I miss you so much it drives me insane

I was too young to remember you well
But you gave my parents so many stories to tell

I think about you almost every day
I don’t want your memory to slip away

I wonder what would be in your birthday gifts
Or if you would teach me to drive stick shift

I wonder how my parents would change
If you hadn’t called them on that day

I wonder if you know you died in vein
Since you shot yourself my dad just hasn’t been the same
He’s afraid to make friends with new guys
And frankly Mike, so am I

I wonder how you would have gave me advice
When my best friend tried to end her life

I didn’t tell my parents because I was afraid
That they’d hurt just like when you went away

I hate seeing my parents cry
But at least now I understand why

I didn’t want them to have to remember again
So I decided to handle it on my own instead
I almost joined my dad in the end
Of having a dead best friend

I think about how you’d be doing today
I miss you so much it drives me insane
