Lost on the Way

[Verse 1]

I hope you're proud of me, the man I grew to be
Tragedies and hardships, they're nothing new to me
I remember your dear smiles and laughter
I hope I see and hear them both again after
My time on this earth eventually runs out
But 'till then, I'll keep on running with my guns out!
Stoppin' every now and then, just to reminise
On the times that you were here, if I may persist

I know that life must've given you a worthy ridе
When you were brought into this world back in '35
Wе were distant, but you always had your glory
As you spent your last years livin' in Corby
If that brain tumour hadn't taken you away
I feel you'd be here to support me in rainy days
But fate had other plans from what I wished, clearly
So I'll play this song loud, hoping that you'll hear me

[Hook]

On this journey that we all call life
I've lost many people that were by my side
And as I continue to go ahead and play
I remember all those I lost on the way

[Verse 2]

I know I did a song about you on this album
I know deep down, that one day, my time shall come
But I can't help but wonder what if you were still here
'Cause you were my best friend for many years
Such a rough past of abuse, self harm and such
A few suicide attempts and thoughts that run amok
Life is hard, I think you must've knew it
You still had the scars on your arms to prove it

When you were stabbed, you clung to life like a gladiator
Despite the hospital's efforts, you died hours later
What's BS was that your killer ended up aquitted
So I won't feel sympathy should he get afflicted
By some bad karma, but however life goes
There is one little detail that I do know:
We'll meet again in Heaven once my life ends well
While your killer spends eternity stuck in Hell

[Hook] (X2)
