I sit by this stone and look around

That pile of dirt is now green ground

Its amazing how life keeps moving along

People keep laughing as if nothings wrong

I strain to hear her answer calling back to me

But silence is the only thing answering my plea

I reach out to friends, but don't recognise faces

Everything changed leaving me no traces

Sometimes the world seems so out of control

I wish it would wait for me to catch up

But first I would have to stand and walk away

Thats the hardest part

It seems like its my life they stole

As the world passes me by

Black and white is now shades of gray

as light fades to dark

I drive alone singing our old songs

I wish I had the chance to right all my wrongs

Wish I could've said goodbye

I need you here to hold me as I cry

I still can't find any sleep

Pulled down far to deep

Hearing about new adventures and places

Of those friends with unrecognised faces

Sometimes the world seems so out of control

I wish it would wait for me to catch up

But first I would have to stand and walk away

Thats the hardest part

It seems like its my life they stole

As the world passes me by

Black and white is now shades of gray

as light fades to dark

I feel removed from the life around

I listen for help but hear no sound

I reach out to you, but you've already moved on

leaving me at your final resting place
