Gone

I don’t know where to start
You were the only one who knew
You were the one who knew it all about me
And now you look so tired
You look like you’ve lived long enough
To be running after me
But no one should cry
You should be sleeping right now
I’ll be gone for two days, no more
But you know nothing’s wrong
I’ll be home
I like the paths you take
Even if I don’t know where to go
You would always know the way back
To the place we call home
But you did get older
You didn’t know the way no more
You didn’t bark like you used to before
But I know
That you’d look better if you tried it
But you wanna fight it
No one’s getting quiet
But you wanna live in silence
Surrounded by the violence
Of a world you didn’t know at all
I miss you each and every night
Since you passed away I try
To remember what it was like
To hear you run and bark all across
The house
And now that you’re not here
I feel the time it goes so slow
I feel the time how it goes on and on
And I know
We’re all getting older
But as long as I am here
I won’t forget the times I shared with you
And I know
That you’d look better if you tried it
But you wanna fight it
No one’s getting quiet
But you wanna live in silence
Surrounded by the violence
Of a world you didn’t know at all
I miss you each and every night
Since you passed away I try
To remember what it was like
To hear you run and bark all across
The house
