In Loving Memory

It's a shame you're not around
For all the, birthdays, graduation ceremonies, holidays, and the like
You'll never hear the sound
Of all the laughing and the whining and the fighting of the people you loved

Or so you say
You never wanted any of it, anyway

But it's okay
It's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
Just waste away
The memories that kept you going
Honesty you kept from knowing

Look, there's another frown
It's on the face of a little girl who still can't comprehend the world she lives in
She hasn't figured out
That you're not ever coming back
I bet you didn't even think about that

But it's okay
You never wanted any of it, anyway

But it's okay
It's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
Just waste away
The memories that kept you going
Honesty you kept from knowing

And now the summer's almost gone
And we have had time to accept the loss
Still, every day, we'll think about you
And we miss you so goddamn much

Well now you're underground
And you're not missing much, I guess
Only time will tell the story the best
It's coming back around
I understand what you were feeling
And I am truly believing, because

All that I had
And all of my past experiences
And all my regrets
I never wanted any of it, anyway

But it's okay
It's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
Just waste away
The memories that kept you going
Honesty you kept from knowing

But it's okay
It's in our dear hearts to forgive you
We never should forgive you
But it's okay
It's in our dear hearts to forgive you
You know that I forgive you
