How do I say goodbye to someone who's been here my whole damn life?My older brother who I looked up to through the dark and the strife.You taught me how to stand up and fight, taught me what was wrong from right.So many times I fell to the ground, but you stayed right there in my sight.Yeah, I smiled through the tears on the day you taught me how to ride my bike.If I would've known that you wouldn't be here anymore,I would've made the moments last a little longer, that’s for sure.How am I supposed to breathe, how am I supposed to say goodbye?I laugh at the stupid memories of what we used to do,Then out of the blue, the tears start falling from my eyes.There better be a heaven, 'cause I keep on looking up at you.i’m holding onto the secrets and the late-night drives we used to take.Trying to be strong for the family, putting on a face that I have to fake.I’ll save the words I never got to say until we meet again.I hope you're looking down on me proud of the person I've been.I pray that you hear this melody resting easy in the peaceful light.If I would've known that you wouldn't be here anymore,I would've made the moments last a little longer, that’s for sure.How am I supposed to breathe, how am I supposed to say goodbye?I laugh at the stupid memories of what we used to do,Then out of the blue, the tears start falling from my eyes.There better be a heaven, 'cause I keep on looking up at you.We’ve come a long, long way from the backyard to the street.And I’ll tell you all about it the next time that we meet.Yeah, I'll tell you all about it when I finally see you again.If I would've known that you wouldn't be here anymore,I would've made the moments last a little longer, that’s for sure.How am I supposed to say goodbye?I laugh at the stupid memories, then I cry out of the blue.There better be a heaven, 'cause I'm still looking up at you.You didn't really leave me... you just went first.It's not the end of our story, it's just the hard part.The quiet little space between hello and goodbye.
