Occured to me the other day

you've been gone a couple years

well i guess it takes a while

for someone to really disappear



i remember where i was

when the word came about you

it was a day much like today

the sky was bright and wide and blue



and i wonder where you are

and if the pain ends when you die

and i wonder if there was

some better way to say goodbye



today my heart is big and sore

it's trying to push right through my skin

i won't see you anymore

i guess that's finally sinking in



'cause you can't make somebody see

with the simple words you say

all their beauty from within

sometimes they just look away



and i wonder where you are

and if the pain ends when you die

and i wonder if there was

some better way to say goodbye



some better way to say goodbye
