Lyrics
I tend to go quiet when I experience grief
Just not so easy to post when I see
Hundreds of families they're crying on TV
How can you distill their loss to a story?
Ignoring friend's calls when I wanna cry
Swear it's not their fault, thank God they try
Hundreds of missed calls and missed texts
Are you doing okay?
I think of it each night
I hold on to the why
Why do I have another day
How will I do another day
I think of you each night
I pause a thousand times
It's so daunting when I try
What will I make up of this time
The games I won, the friends I lost, the bridges that we crossed
Too many hours in parking lots and all the shooting stars
Mom and Dad, and all the calls I wish I could've paused
Was it worth at all, the time we spent apart?
I think of it each night
I hold on to the why
Why I have another day
How will I do another day
I think of you each night
I pause a thousand times
It's so daunting when I try
What will I make up of this time
It never goes away
Not a matter of friends and cakes
It's handwritten lists, the dog you miss, a walk at Folsom Lake
I tend to forget, that's all it takes
I think of you each night
I hold on to the why
Why I have another day
How will I do another day
