Dear Billy
I am sorry that things ended, like they did
Never thought that I'd reminisce
Hey, Billy
Told myself that I wouldn't miss you, but I do
So, here I am telling you this
Wish I could take back all the arguments and the way we disagreed
Wish I could give you all the compliments, before I watched you leave
'Cause now I'm sat here by your grave
Wishing you were someone that I could've saved
Wish I could've run to you and pulled you away
You'll be the first thing on my mind 'til my dying day
And that day's getting closer
They're telling me to run faster, but I kinda wanna stay
And say, "I'm sorry, Billy"
Dear Billy
I should tell you that your dad left
It's for the best
Home feels better without him there
The whole town cried the day you died
But they don't know the truth
It's just plain lies about why (about why)
And they don't know about the upside
Wish I could take back all the arguments and the way we disagreed
Wish I could give you all the compliments, before I watched you leave
'Cause now I'm sat here by your grave
Wishing you were someone that I could've saved
Wish I could've run to you and pulled you away (pulled you away)
You'll be the first thing on my mind 'til my dying day
And that day's getting closer
They're telling me to run faster, but I kinda wanna stay
And say, "I'm sorry, Billy"
"I'm sorry, Billy"
Wish I could go back and relive the times when you're screaming at my face
Because it's better than all these lies and watching you drift away
'Cause now I'm sat here, and I'm saying this
You're someone that I miss
Dear Billy
I am sorry that things ended, like they did
Never thought that I'd reminisce
