lyrics

O, I sit here wearing his shirt and I think of his body warm inside.
Is it weird for me to sit here grasping the note that he wrote when he was high?
O, the guilt when I am happy,
O, the guilt when I am laughing makes me sad.
But I cannot find the words for the feelings that I have in my head.

[Lament]

When I sat there in my dorm and got that fateful call from John, what could I do?
O, I couldn't even cry as I learned of your demise, I was subdued.
O, I couldn't feel for months.
I tried, but not even once, O how I feel!
But now I know with certainty that I'm depressed and wish to be alone.

[Lament]

One day I thought it was gonna happen, but not tonight.
Brother, I miss you now, what could I've done to make things right?
Now I look back and see the Jack people knew and love.
Forgetting both sides of the boy who died who I didn't always like.

[Lament]

Love. (repeat)

I'm standing at the gates and I'm struggling to see though.
When I forget the dates, it don't mean I didn't love you.

And all that I saw,
and all that people say,
is you're standing up above
so full of love.

They say you rest in peace, but that don't mean a thing.
O, I beg and I plead
for you, my all, my everything.

And all that I saw,
and all that people say,
is you're standing up above
so full of love.

So why'd you do what you did?
The pain won't go away.
O, I hurt every day.
The pain won't go away!
I hurt every. day.

And all that I saw,
and all that people say,
is you're standing up above
so full of love.

Love. (repeated without end)

I love you.
