[Verse 1]
I carved my mark
In locker doors and bathroom stalls
In busted teeth
And late night calls
You saw the smoke
But never cared about the fire
You knew my face
But not the names behind my scars
[Chorus]
I was here
Now I'm gone
Left my name to carry on
If you knew me
You can tell
If you didn't
Oh well
I was loud
Now I'm still
But I'm printed on your will
If you knew me
You can tell
If you didn't
Oh well (oh well)
[Verse 2]
Old friends laugh
On crooked barstools
Saying mine
They pass the glass
Like they’re passing down a sign
You hear the stories
Swear you see me in the smoke
But when they toast
You never get the joke
[Chorus]
I was here
Now I'm gone
Left my name to carry on
If you knew me
You can tell
If you didn't
Oh well
I was loud
Now I'm still
But I'm printed on your will
If you knew me
You can tell
If you didn't
Oh well (oh well)
[Bridge]
Did you ever say my name
With a shiver in your chest
Did you ever taste the shame
Of knowing you missed the best
When the candles all burn out
And the photos start to fade
You'll hear me in the crowd
In every angry serenade
[Chorus]
I was here
Now I'm gone
Left my name to carry on
If you knew me
You can tell
If you didn't
Oh well
I was loud
Now I'm still
But I'm printed on your will
If you knew me
You can tell
If you didn't
Oh well (oh well, oh well)
