๐ Lyrics
My grandfather lost his knee in the war
He never bothered to tell the story before
The memories were painful
So I let it go
He got older, his blood started to thin
He'd shrug his shoulders
He didn't know where to begin
With snow falling on bodies and slowly freezing?
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I never kept them anyway
Driving faster
There's not a second to waste
I court disaster with every turn that I take
I know I shouldn't be driving
But I'm on the road
My grandmother never shed a tear
She told me stories of how she used to cower in fear
From fists raised in anger and drunken beatings
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
But it's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
And tonight I know this man is dead and gone
I'm in his chair listening to all his favorite songs
Because the man I lost, the man I knew before I ever learned
That he had fires to light and bridges to burn
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyways
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
When you think about it
When you think about it...
He never bothered to tell the story before
The memories were painful
So I let it go
He got older, his blood started to thin
He'd shrug his shoulders
He didn't know where to begin
With snow falling on bodies and slowly freezing?
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I never kept them anyway
Driving faster
There's not a second to waste
I court disaster with every turn that I take
I know I shouldn't be driving
But I'm on the road
My grandmother never shed a tear
She told me stories of how she used to cower in fear
From fists raised in anger and drunken beatings
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
But it's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
And tonight I know this man is dead and gone
I'm in his chair listening to all his favorite songs
Because the man I lost, the man I knew before I ever learned
That he had fires to light and bridges to burn
I never thought that I would sing along to all the songs I hated
What's left for you and I if all of the remains are unrelated?
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyways
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
'Cuz I know I loved him anyway
And God knows he loved me anyway
When you think about it
It's not affecting me
When you think about it
When you think about it...
