I remember when you asked me

"What  do you do

When  it doesn't get better

And you can't decide whether

To hold on tight or to let this go?

How  do I let this go?"

It  was the first time I felt true cold

A stone monument with heavy words

I  felt the weight of every one I heard

I hope you know that you can call

I'm here to talk things over

We can stay up 'til the morning

Or  at least 'til we're both sober

The sorrow that you carry soon will end

You're nearly past it

I've been there before as well, I won't take it for granted

It's hard to accept and move on, search for better things

To rectify what was and what still remains

I hope in that moment of desperation

You found reconciliation

I just wish you would have called

We could have talked this over

Waited 'til the morning

Or at least 'til we were sober

The burden that you carried didn't die

You only passed it

The weight pulled me to my knees when I saw your casket

I remember when you asked me

"What do you do when it doesn't get better?"
