All I hear is stories
About this man before me
Like he was some type of god โ who lost his shot
And just the other morning
The sun was shining brighter than usual โ I had to stop
Look up at the sky and wonder:
What would life be like, if all of those stories they told were right
If he were still here
Would he walk and talk the same?
Would he still remember my name?
Tell me, would he still care?
Would he still care?
I know it's crazy to even question those types of things
But it has been so long that I forgot
Now, I don't even have memories
Just the other day
I saw a photograph of a man who looked like me
He smiled the same and I saw similarities
And every time I close my eyes
I know he is close-by
Just the other day
I saw a photograph of a stranger I once knew
And everything I do is all because of you
And late at night I close my eyes
I know he is close-by
The spark that lit the fire
A younger boy tying to rule the world now โ forced to learn alone
How to make it on my own
I know I can take it higher
Higher than he ever did before โ I will show everyone back home
That my heart is turned to stone
I may never get that chance to say those things I should have said
I still put the blame on me
Sometimes I wish it was me instead
Now all I have are photographs of a man I barely knew
Would he be the man these people say
I hope this man is proud of me
I know it's crazy to even question those types of things
But it's been so long that I forgot
Now I don't even have memories
Just the other day
I saw a photograph of a man who looked like me
He smiled the same and I saw similarities
And every time I close my eyes
I know he is close-by
Just the other day
I saw a photograph of a stranger I once knew
And everything I do is all because of you
And late at night I close my eyes
I know he is close-by
Just the other day
I saw a photograph of man who looked like me
He smiled the same and I saw similarities
And every time I close my eyes
He is right by my side.
