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
