Words I Failed to Say

Tired enough to let it go

Awake enough to fight

Too proud to know you've sunk so low this time

Leaving you with an unknown reason

The strength to do and thought to see somehow

Now a life's work looks withered on your tired face

A new man I see with my eyes

Forces strike again, it's pointless to pretend

We can help the evil that's inside you

Taken away, but remembered to this day

That's what I failed to say while you were here

To live as young men in the prime of our lives

Chances lost, sights unseen
