They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
When I got the news it was nothing really I could ever do
I sit around and think about it
If it wasn't for the COVID, coulda made it to the funeral
But I can't book a flight
I'm hot right now
And if they call my phone, then I wouldn't pick up
Just not right now
Thinking about your voice
But you're gone and I'm really gonna miss that sound, damn
Couldn't say goodbye
I was way more than out of town
Way across the ocean floating in my emotions
I feel that now
Pain cut deep and I wish some way I could heal that now
Man I'm just being real right now, being open I'm a wreck
So much going on in my head
It's a long time in the wind until I'm feeling fine once again
Aye, here we go again
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
I remember when I got the news, it was a Wednesday
Raining outside, a bit cold
The bro called he was crying on the phone
And by then I knew
I felt it deep in my heart that you had departed
God had taken you home
We lost a literal guardian angel that day but I had to be strong
I had to
Living every day to make you proud of us with a smile was so powerful
It crushed any doubt that we had
As a child, it was always around
But the fact you were always a shield to our problems
You always fought them and never thought to resolve them with hate
Shows the love that you brought
On our last conversation, you said you were proud of us both
And the things we were doing through music
The men that we are
I miss you!
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
Anxiety got my stomach in a knot
You were my rock when the wind blew too hard
You were holdin' down the spot
And I need that, but even though depression at the door
And I can hear it when it knocks
And I'm sittin' here wishin' it would stop
I don't even wanna look up at the clock
I don't know what day it is, real talk
Maybe I should go and take a walk
But I could never really shake it off
The feeling that I'm feelin' now you're gone
I just gotta put it in a song
Nobody knows what's really goin' on
But they be thinking that I'm keeping strong
When the truth is I've been living on the edge and navigating hurt
Pick up the phone
I need it now more than ever to tell me that things are better
To pray for us in the moment
I miss that
I really do want to tell you
I'm really sorry for times I treated you badly
To show myself some forgiveness is something you always showed me
But how can I feel okay when I know that I'll never hold you
I promise to honor you in the things that you did and showed us
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
They say you don't gotta go home
But you can't stay here
And no I don't wanna be alone
In the world out there
