[Verse 1]
Looking at this picture,
trying to remember that boy
and what life looked like
Through those eyes full of joy
And how your hand used to feel
In an instant,
life changed, only tears left behind
There’s only darkness,
where the sun once used to shine
Oh please tell me, this isn’t real
[Pre-Chorus]
Pictures on the floor, now you and I
Are only memories from a different life
Forever I’ll hide who I really am deep inside
[Chorus]
I won’t let go, I’ll hold you tight
As I walk alone through the night
Searching for who I used to be
For how I felt, when you still were with me
I won’t let go, won’t move ahead
There’s just no me without you Dad
I’ll fight my way through reality
Won’t let it take you away from me
[Verse 2]
I start daydreaming,
Sittin‘ here on this barstool
I see you taking,
your grandkids to your house after school
Doing all that nonsense, you really should not
Not to see you,
being proud of all the things I’ve achieved
Still kills me
and I just can’t believe,
You don’t see them growing up
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re missin‘ in this picture of my family
Are you watching from above, do you see
How hard I try being the same dad you were to me
[Chorus]
I won’t let go, I’ll hold you tight
As I walk alone through the night
Searching for who I used to be
For how I felt, when you still were with me
I won’t let go, won’t move ahead
There’s just no me without you Dad
I’ll fight my way through reality
Won’t let it take you away from me
[Outro]
I can’t let go of my best friend
I would die to feel your hand again
Tonight I’ll drown reality
To make sure you stay here with me
Tonight I’ll drown reality
Please stay a little longer with me
