it's taking it's toll
keeping track of the years
you're at the front of my mind
but you'll never be here
you weren't made for this world
such a fragile thing
so we washed you away
in a rainstorm in spring
but i'll keep trying to picture you
and i'll keep saying your name
and i'll grow into the imprints that you made
i'm older now
than you ever got to be
i'm making memories for the years you never got to see
i'm older now
and i'll keep on getting older
as my scars keep healing over each and every day
it's breaking me down
trying to keep myself up
my nerves are so raw
but my feelings are numb
i'll hold you close to my chest
and i'll be better for you
i'll be the man that you always wanted to
i still hear you in the bass guitar of shitty songs we wrote when we were sixteen
i still see you in the architecture of dead west yorkshire towns that we grew up in
