Inspired by: “Drowning” by: Chris Young
Still got your pictures w/ my phone
And even though u don’t know I u
I always called & wait 4 the tone
Just to hear Dad say, “hurry up. B quick.”
Since y’all’ve been gone I’ve had to find
Different ways to grieve
There’s days I don’t even wanna think 'bout it
But sometimes I’m weak
So I’m gonna put up pictures of y’all in my room
Thinkin’ back a little while prayin’ some too.
By myself
I get lost
That I can’t even think straight
How y’all aren’t taken care of there
It ain’t the same since y’all been gone
I’m gone say, missin’ y’all comes in waves
But sometimes I’m drownin’
Yeah, one day soon we’ll have our own place
And one day we’ll see y’all again
But it’s killin’ us we can’t see y’all right now
I miss my children
So I’m gonna put up pictures of y’all in my room
Thinkin’ back a little while prayin’ some too.
By myself
I get lost
That I can’t even think straight
How y’all aren’t taken care of there
It ain’t the same since y’all been gone
I’m gone say, missin’ y’all comes in waves
But sometimes I’m drownin’
Yes, sometimes I’m drownin’
I know it is a process
But it’s breakin’ my poor heart in pieces
So tonight I’m gonna put up pictures of y’all in my room
Thinkin’ back a little while prayin’ some too.
By myself
I get lost
That I can’t even think straight
How y’all aren’t taken care of there
It ain’t the same since y’all been gone
I’m gone say, missin’ y’all comes in waves
But sometimes I’m drownin’
Yeah sometimes I’m drownin’
