My Own Man Now

I looked into your eyes

And I see a reflection of me

I could never find my way

until you set me free

You were the best of many good men

Who taught me everything I know

You weren't supposed to leave me

Now I'm on my own

I'm my own man now

You save my life but I couldn't save yours

And that's my cross to bear

I carry on all that I learned

I am now your ayr

When your demons finally found you

Alone and took you away

You didn't have to die that day

It coulda been me
