It was 06 when that phone rang

Given the news you gave had my heart hang

So I looked down, and I cried to

Not remembering the last time

 “I loved you”…

.. Being a just a young man, coping to understand

What was going on?

Late nights, riding in the mustang…

 You would lecture me

“On blood being thicker than water”

“Always trust your bothers”

“ Make sure you always care for your mother”

Words I never understood when you spoke

See I just wasn’t ready,

But now I’m listening with all of it the being deadly

As when they ask, how you passed

I reply “He just wasn’t healthy”

Cause truthfully. They have no business finding the truth in me

As we both know, you let go…
