Listen up and take a minute, I need to tell you why
I do the things the way I do and weeks are flying by.
I'm trying to fill a void in my life these days
by filling it with work and work, and accomplishments and praise.
Anything that keeps me busy,
anything that keeps me up
'cause if I start to let it out,
I think I'm never gonna stop.
Afraid I'm never gonna stop.
Listen up and take a minute wherever you are,
I've been mourning you with the bottle and with my guitar.
For this song I sat myself
down to put in words
what's underneath and what's unsaid;
how much this whole thing hurts.
How much this whole thing hurts.
Listen up, just take a minute, I need to tell you why
I do the things the way I do so months are flying by.
Since you're gone it isn't always easy,
all I do is run,
but the hardest part,
the hardest part
was growing up your son.
Was growing up your son.
