Verse 1

Verse 1 Another name gets written on a wall tonight, Another family praying everything will be alright, Another mother staring at the porch light, Wondering why her child never made it home tonight, The streets keep taking dreams and leaving people cold, Young lives disappearing before they get to grow old, Everybody talks tough, but nobody wants the toll, When violence takes a heartbeat, it leaves a permanent hole. I remember all the nights when we’d laugh until dawn, Now I wake up realizing that you’re really gone, I keep looking at the doorway like you’re walking along, Then reality hits me and the feeling feels wrong, I turned my pain into a melody at night, Put the grief in every bar till the words feel alive, I don’t wanna forget you just to finally survive, So I carry your memory while I search for the light.
