Skinned Knees

i saw your face again today
couldn't seem to get it out of my head
no matter how hard i tried
i couldn't fight back the tears
and everyone saw me cry

i can't get the casket out of my head
i think of you at night
as i lay in my bed
thinking of the rocks
hitting my window at night

i wish i would have gotten to say
that i love you and goodbye
at least give me that much
because now all day the only thing i think of
is how i never got to say goodbye

i can't let you go
no matter how hard i try
i fall to the ground at the gravesite
and skin my knees
as i cry

i want to go back to those times
when skinned knees were the only things
that could make you cry
instead of your friend
six feet under in a grave at night

my words can't do you justice
but at least i hope you know
that i love you so much
i miss you
and i will never let your memory go

rest in peace my friend
