We were ready for anything

Everyone has some pain
I see the loss every time someone says your name
When you know someone who shines hard
A soul of the age who doesn't care
Who the f**k you are
You had a friend, a brother who was everything
But he had to go away...that was yesterday
I've lost a lot of people in my time
The good, the bad, the unreal,
And the ones who shine
So I know you all understand
When I say that until they left
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything...but this

You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you're still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us

Now it's time to lay to rest our friend


And through these songs
His memory will never f**king end
We still see that
Through this we'll shed some light on you
Until the day you left us

We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything...but this

You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you're still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us

Why'd you have to go? we never had a chance
I can't believe it so I won't admit it
Life ain't shit without you in it

You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you're still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us

Everybody says the light that shines the brightest
Burns out fast
But what they never say is
All the light they gave us lasts
We hold the memories and cherish
Everyday we had
But we would give it up in a second
Just to have you
Back!!!
