To Care for Those Who Cared for Us

We commemorate the life you lead
As only the forgotten are truly dead
I'll treasure every word you said
As only the forgotten are truly dead

Bewildered and alone
The world keeps moving as you turn to stone
Watching the light as it starts to fade
Regret sets in and I wish I'd stayed

I wish I'd stayed
I wish you'd stayed

Despite the pieces that you miss
I hope your ignorance is bliss

We commemorate the life you lead
As only the forgotten are truly dead
I'll treasure every word you said
As only the forgotten are truly dead

Every time we're together
It's the roll of a dice
I'm grieving while you're still here
Why do I have to do this twice?

Every time we're together it's the roll of a dice
Why do I have to do this twice?

Your mind unravels like a loose thread
Only the forgotten are truly dead
Given hope to only be mislead
Only the forgotten are truly dead

I've always seen you as a father
But I never knew the man
I am here by your side
Even when you forget who I am

I know you can't remember
Just know I'll never forget
I've always seen you as a father
But I never knew the man
I'm here by your side
Even when you forget who I am

We commemorate the life you lead
As only the forgotten are truly dead
I'll treasure every word you said
As only the forgotten are truly dead
