LYRICS
Never thought I'd see the day
where I would ever have to turn around and walk away,
but today is that day
And I'm looking for you in each image that I grasp,
and begging that you're more than memories in my past,
don't leave me this way
And I'm counting the days I have left for myself,
it's a plague that's infecting my brain
I know you'd be saying "Be good to yourself,"
but those words with my voice aren't the same

And I'm not there with you,
but you're still here with me
And I'm not there with you,
but you're still a part of me

I'm falling apart but I'll choose to go on
You'll live on in me every day
I'll hold on to all of these memories we've made
cause I know you would want it that way
I'll lift up my eyes and stand up instead
And push on ahead when my life is in shreds
I'm trying to be the person I was in your head
But this road is just twisting at every turn
It's pulling me down, and I can't seem to learn
I don't have to pretend I'm okay

And I, don't know why
you were taken from me
I might stand on my own,
but I won't be alone
as long as I live you're still here
cause you're my anchor
my courage
my memory, my remedy
the reason I still can go on
I'll learn to be strong, I'll learn to move on
I'll be what I loved in you

Cause while I'm not there with you,
you're still here with me
and I'm not there with you,
but you're still a part of me

And I'm shifting the way I look things
just a moment could pass, where everything
is just gone in a flash, not worth losing
all the blood of my past, and bruising
So, I'll think back to you with each gift that I give
as you guide what I do while I learn to forgive
I wish you could see how your legacy lives on in me

I'm not there with you, but you're still here with me
And I'm not there with you, but I know you'd be proud of me
