For a long time I remember
When I had too much on my side
I said she needn't have cared
I'd always be with you
She said no one understood her pain
You'd rather not exist than feel this way

I stood by you till your last seconds
I hope you can hear it from wherever you are
I hope you still have that bright smile I'll never forget

I can still smell you, my hands in your hair
Now the one who doesn't understand is my own pain

And you're gone never to return
I can't cry no more
I pray that God will bring you back
And he says: Son don't cry
where she is you don't have to care
Son, go on with your life
seeing you like this she wouldn't like it

I'm sitting here trying not to remember
But how can I not remember? you were all I had
I was strong once and today I can't stop crying
I'd rather sleep than dream and not have to wake up
Without you here I can't do it

I can still feel your smell
my hands in your hair
Now my own pain is the one that doesn't understand

And you're gone, never to return
I can't stand to cry no more
I pray that God will bring you back
And he says: Son don't cry
where she is you don't have to care
Son, go on with your life, seeing you like this she wouldn't like it

Son don't cry
Son don't cry
