Lyrics

[VERSE 1]:

Yo, I’m suffocating with each step, each breath feels like a mistake,
He was the one who taught me love, now my heart’s in heartbreak.
He loved the music, I loved him, that’s where it began,
Now I’m lost in these tracks, where he once ran.
His kids look at me, questions burning in their gaze,
How do I tell them there’s no more lessons, no more days?
He hated this world, but fought through the pain,
For them, he stayed, now it’s driving me insane.

[CHORUS]:

Why is he gone, and I’m still here?
The silence screams, the pain’s crystal clear.
It should’ve been me, taking his place,
But I’m stuck with memories, can’t erase.

[VERSE 2]:

I hope there’s a reason, some purpose in this mess,
But the void in my chest, it’s a crushing distress.
He did his best, held on for so long,
But the world’s too heavy, everything went wrong.
Now I’m drowning in guilt, it’s eating me alive,
Wishing it was me who didn’t survive.
The music still plays, but it’s lost its soul,
Without him here, nothing makes me whole.

[CHORUS]:

Why is he gone, and I’m still here?
The silence screams, the pain’s crystal clear.
It should’ve been me, taking his place,
But I’m stuck with memories, can’t erase.

[BRIDGE]:

I see his kids, they’re his mirror,
Wish I could pull him back from the shadows, bring him nearer.
Tell them it’s okay, that he’s still around,
But all I have are echoes, no real sound.

[CHORUS]:

Why is he gone, and I’m still here?
The silence screams, the pain’s crystal clear.
It should’ve been me, taking his place,
But I’m stuck with memories, can’t erase.

[OUTRO]:

He taught me love, now I’m learning to grieve,
In every beat, every breath I breathe.
I’ll hold on for him, for the love he gave,
But the pain stays deep, as deep as a grave.
