We commemorate the life you lead As only the forgotten are truly dead I'll treasure every word you said As only the forgotten are truly dead Bewildered and alone The world keeps moving as you turn to stone Watching the light as it starts to fade Regret sets in and I wish I'd stayed I wish I'd stayed I wish you'd stayed Despite the pieces that you miss I hope your ignorance is bliss We commemorate the life you lead As only the forgotten are truly dead I'll treasure every word you said As only the forgotten are truly dead Every time we're together It's the roll of a dice I'm grieving while you're still here Why do I have to do this twice? Every time we're together it's the roll of a dice Why do I have to do this twice? Your mind unravels like a loose thread Only the forgotten are truly dead Given hope to only be mislead Only the forgotten are truly dead I've always seen you as a father But I never knew the man I am here by your side Even when you forget who I am I know you can't remember Just know I'll never forget I've always seen you as a father But I never knew the man I'm here by your side Even when you forget who I am We commemorate the life you lead As only the forgotten are truly dead I'll treasure every word you said As only the forgotten are truly dead
