II

Had another dream of you last night

Now I'm wakin' up feelin' all kinds of wrong

No matter how hard I try

I just can't move on

My heart's missing' its biggest piece

But still I'm survivin' in this world

Tryin' not to feel so damn alone

Losin' you once killed my soul

But losing' you every night

Is the hardest part of movin' on


You told me to be strong

Grandma, I've been tryin'

But I miss you so much

Feels like inside I'm dyin'

I'm measuring the world

Against the love you gave

And it just keeps falling short

Every fuckin' day

Every "I love you" I hear now

Has its own cost

You were the best woman I ever knew

And this whole damn world

Can't measure up to what I lost


I ain't the man you wished for me

But I'm tryin' so damn hard to be

Every step I'm takin' feels heavy

I'm exhausted

But still I'm pushin' through

Just hopin' that one of these roads I'm takin'

Will lead me straight back home to you


You told me to be strong

Grandma, I've been tryin'

But I miss you so much

Feels like inside I'm dyin'

I'm measuring the world

Against the love you gave

And it just keeps falling short

Every fuckin' day

Every "I love you" I hear now

Has its own cost

You were the best woman I ever knew

And this whole damn world

Can't measure up to what I lost


There's choices I made

I wish I could take back

Sadly, some things

We just can't undo

Yeah, it makes me angry

But really

What I'm angry at most of all

Is that I didn't spend more time with you


You told me to be strong

Grandma, I've been tryin'

But I miss you so much

Feels like inside I'm dyin'

I'm measuring the world

Against the love you gave

And it just keeps falling short

Every fuckin' day

Every "I love you" I hear now

Has its own cost

You were the best woman I ever knew

And this whole damn world

Can't measure up to what I lost
