You Should Be Here Lyrics by Jackson Novem

2019

Funny how everything you care about
Seems to go in a moment
Then you've lost out
‘Cause that love never comes again
Again, again
Feel like I’m drowning in these tears
These fears
I keep to myself
‘Cause I know if I try to love I'll put it on a shelf
Because it don't feel the same
Something has changed
In my brain
Somethings absent
Somethings missing
And I think I know what it is
‘Cause you should be here
Yeah, you should be here
I’m holding onto hope, my dear
Can't just let you disappear
‘Cause you should be here
And the reason ain't exactly clear
So far away but I need you near
'Cause I just really need you here
It's easier to live in daydreams
Than to accept where I'm at right now
Losing sight of common ground
You were stolen
Taken far too soon
But in reality it's just another tragedy
They'll mourn and then they’ll move right on to
Something different
But nothing will ever change
It’s just a cycle of hurt and pain
And there's no saving grace
Is this a lesson?
Something I needed to be taught
How much grief can one heart take?
The knot still taut but the edges frayed
Because it don’t feel the same
When you died the seasons turned to fall
The cold set in and the window's frost
Somethings absent
Somethings missing
And I know just what it is
‘Cause you should be here
Yeah, you should be here
I'm holding onto hope, my dear
Can't just let you disappear
‘Cause you should be here
And the reason ain’t exactly clear
So far away but I need you near
Cause I just really need you here
‘Cause loss is a tricky thing
For a moment they're here
But they've really been gone for years (and years)
And I know I have to let you go
Even though all I want is to hold you close
Whisper in your ear and let you know
You're the best thing that my life has shown
And I know it's wrong and it's not fair
When the guilty don't get their fair share
It's hard to live and it's hard to learn
That sometimes love just has to burn out
This song is for you, and every moment that was stolen from us
Every memory we never got to make
Every song i never got to write thanking you for being born
And changing my life (Don't you know, Don't you know I love you?)
I love you Percy (and I'll never stop)
