Beggars and liars, cheaters and thieves They all have something, something they need You wanna take a stand first take a knee But you might want to stop for the things unseen If there was a moment if there was a day If there was a time and a place would you say All the emotions you build up inside You cant turn and go, you cant run and hide But those are just memories God I love the memories God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family Those are just melodies God I love the melodies God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family Don't try and tell me it's alright 'Cause I see the scars you'll have your whole life And I, I can tell you how much I need you But you wont understand Don't try and tell me it's alright Your emotional state is so black and white For the sake of your family you're going to have to try 'Cause if you fall away then you'll die (Ahh) (Ahh) The heart of the father means well for the sun But the weight that it puts on my heart is a ton When you retreat to that state of mind It takes us all back, to stand in that line Hopping and praying that you would pull through Believe me when I say we're thinking of you We're thinking of the way that you used to be Humor and joy filled the room when you speak But those are just memories God I love the memories God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family Those are just melodies God I love the melodies God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family Don't try and tell me it's alright 'Cause I see the scars you'll have your whole life And I, I can tell you how much I need you But you won't understand Don't try and tell me it's alright Your emotional state is so black and white For the sake of your family you're going to have to try 'Cause if you fall away then you'll die Don't try and tell me it's alright 'Cause I see the scars you'll have your whole life And I, I can tell you how much I need you But you won't understand Don't try and tell me it's alright Your emotional state is so black and white For the sake of your family you're going to have to try 'Cause if you fall away then you'll die (Ahh) (Ahh) Those are just melodies God I love the melodies God, you felt so close to me when we were still a family Those are just melodies God I love the melodies God, you felt so close...
