Yeah…
Some days I swear I’m still looking for your truck,
Thinking you might pull up like you always used to.
But life keeps moving…
Even when you don’t want it to.
[Verse 1]
Grandpa, I still hear your voice inside my head,
Still think about the things you said before you left.
You taught me how to stand when life gets rough,
But lately, man, I swear I’ve had enough.
I’ve been losing sleep, fighting demons in the dark,
Trying to find myself while I’m falling apart.
Family got distant, everything changed,
And every year that passes just don’t feel the same.
I wish I could call you, tell you what I’ve been through,
Tell you how I’m struggling, ask what I should do.
You always had an answer when I didn’t know the way,
Now I’m wishing I could hear just one more thing you’d say.
[Chorus]
I wish you were here, Grandpa, I could use you tonight,
Life’s been kicking my ass and I’m losing the fight.
I’m trying to hold on, but I’m barely getting by,
Got a smile on my face while I’m dying inside.
Everything I built feels like it fell to the ground,
I’m surrounded by people but I still feel alone somehow.
If heaven has a phone, I’d call just to say,
“I miss you, Grandpa… I need you today.”
[Verse 2]
I’ve made some mistakes that I wish I could erase,
Took some wrong turns and I’m paying for the days.
Look in the mirror, barely recognize the man,
I’m just trying to become who you knew I could’ve been.
Money gets tight, relationships break,
Some nights I wonder how much more I can take.
I keep saying I’m good, but that’s just what I say,
‘Cause nobody sees the battles that I fight every day.
I remember being younger, sitting right by your side,
Never thought there’d come a day I’d have to say goodbye.
Now I’d give anything for one more afternoon,
One more story, one more laugh, sitting there with you.
[Chorus]
I wish you were here, Grandpa, I could use you tonight,
Life’s been kicking my ass and I’m losing the fight.
I’m trying to hold on, but I’m barely getting by,
Got a smile on my face while I’m dying inside.
Everything I built feels like it fell to the ground,
I’m surrounded by people but I still feel alone somehow.
If heaven has a phone, I’d call just to say,
“I miss you, Grandpa… I need you today.”
[Bridge]
Maybe you can see me from wherever you are,
Maybe you still guide me when I’m lost in the dark.
So I’m gonna keep walking, even when I’m afraid,
Carry your name with me till the end of my days.
I know I’m not perfect, I’ve got scars I can’t hide,
But I remember you telling me to keep my head high.
So when I feel like quitting and I’ve got nothing left,
I’ll think about you and give life one more step.
[Final Chorus]
I wish you were here, Grandpa, I could use you tonight,
I’d tell you that I’m trying, even though I’m not alright.
Life might’ve gone to hell, but I’m still standing here,
Carrying your memory through every damn tear.
And when my time comes, I hope you’re waiting there,
With that same old smile and your hand in the air.
Until that day comes,
