Haven't Seen You in a While

Haven't seen you in a while
Only in dreams and my social media feed
I miss your stupid face
And when I'm home I think you're upstairs or away

Last time I saw you you were doin' dishes
Facing the window to the backyard
You finally turned around and looked at me
I asked how you were doin' and you said, "Great!"

With that glint in your eyes
And that smile we all love
I believed you because I wanted to
Wish I had held you longer that day

You told us you felt paralyzed
Like you couldn't complete the task at hand
And looking back, the true mistake I made
Was thinking that I could understand

'Cause I have been where you were
'Cause if I was I wouldn't be here
Whatever dark was troubling your mind
I know you fought it with strength

With that glint in your eyes
And that smile we all love
I believed you'd make it through
I believed it because I wanted to

Got a text late one night
Said that you didn't come home from work
I made the drive to mom and dad's
Just to wait till you arrived

But the police came to our door
Sat on the couch you'd sat so many times before
Told us they found you hanging in a tree
And as my heart broke all I could see

Was that glint in your eyes
And that smile we all love
I just wanted to see you
Only to hold you one last time

Haven't seen you in a while
Only in dreams and my social media feed
I miss your stupid face
And when I'm home I think you're upstairs or away
