Rest easy

Verse 1:

You're gone but not forgotten, you're always in my head,

You're in everyone's hearts, with every word you said,

You saw the brighter side, even when the days were gray,

You battled through the cancer, never let it lead the way.

Pre-Chorus:

Now you're gone, I see your face, everywhere I turn,

Scrolling through the memories, it's so hard to learn,

I'm supposed to be strong, but man, I break inside,

'Cause saying goodbye feels like losing my guide.

Chorus:

How do I, how do I say goodbye?

To someone I've known my whole damn life,

You left a mark, you're still in my heart,

But it tears me apart, to know you're not here tonight.

Verse 2:

You never let anything bring you down,

I never got the chance to say goodbye,

It's hard to speak, but you were like a second father,

I can't believe you're gone, it doesn't seem right.

I'm a man, but even I cried,

When they told me you were no longer here,

You're not in pain, you're up above,

I hope God lets you sit on His throne,

'Cause you're the light in everyone's hearts, forever shining strong.

Bridge:

Mark, you're gone, but every year to the day,

I'll raise a glass for everything you gave,

You lifted me up, made me who I am,

You’re the reason I’m here, making music today.

You told me to follow every dream I had,

If this was Marvel, I'd be Spider-Man,

And you'd be Uncle Ben, showing me the way,

'Cause with great power comes the weight of the day.

I’m grateful for all the things you’ve done,

Your legacy lives on in everyone.

Outro:

I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye,

Not sure I'm ready, not sure I can try,

So every year to the day, I’ll raise a glass,

To everything you’ve done, to the lives you’ve passed.

You changed the world just by being around,

And when I reach heaven, I know where I'll be found,

The pints are on me, when we meet again,

Thank you for everything, rest easy, my friend.

I’m sorry you had to leave so soon,

Rest easy, brother—I love you
