I was ten years old when I realized some goodbyes are forever But what's that mean for you and I? I thought we'd always be together How can the person who taught me to breathe Take the last breath right in front of me? I know too much now I wish I could still see the world through those eyes I still see the colors, but they're not as clear as bright The older we get, the colors, they change Your hair turns to gray, but the blue's here to stay So I wish, I wish I remember seeing my dad cry For the first time we were downstairs Talking about how his dad died And how he wished he could've been there How could the person who taught me to breathe Take the last breath right in front of me? I know too much now I wish I could still see the world through those eyes I still see the colors, but they're not as clear as bright The older we get, the colors, they change Your hair turns to gray, but the blue stays the same I wish, I wish Stay a little longer I'm not ready for you to go It hasn't even happened But I have been mourning since ten years old Stay a little longer I wish I could still see the world through those eyes I still see the colors, but they're not as clear as bright The older we get, the colors, they change Your hair turns to gray, but the blue stays the same I wish, I wish
