Oliver Joseph - Been Here All Along

Tried to drink the pain away but now I'm gone
I wish the people that I lost could call my phone
Emotions tangled up but still remaining strong
I thought I lost myself but been here all along
I know the struggles that we face are for the moment
We cannot run from it so we have to own it
Protect your peace don't miss out on that component
Man in the mirror why you look like my opponent
Remember riding solo, underneath the stars
I was feeling so low, trying to heal the scars
Through depression and the pain I held my head up high
For all the people looking down at me from the sky
It hurt to see you go, it hurt to see you leave
I shed so many tears, it took me to my knees
I just want you to know, I love you that's for sure
Thankful for all of the times I got to spend with you
Made me grateful, made me stronger, I'm a better man
Gave me a reason to make sure I'm doing all I can
Fill me up with all the patience that the heavens bring
Lift me up with all the power in those angel wings
Keep on showing me the way and I will listen to you
Everything you said was true I learnt a lesson from you
Shield me from all the wrong I feel protected by you
Appreciate it every time I get a blessing from you
Tried to drink the pain away but now I'm gone
I wish the people that I lost could call my phone
Emotions tangled up but still remaining strong
I thought I lost myself but been here all along
I know the struggles that we face are for the moment
We cannot run from it so we have to own it
Protect your peace don't miss out on that component
Man in the mirror why you look like my opponent
Memories inside my head replaying everyday
Smile cause I see you standing by the pearly gates
Respect the way you loved, respect the way you shared
When it was hard for you, you still showed that you cared
Truly a great, there's no debate, you help me change my ways
You helped me grow, you helped me live, you in a better place
When I feel down I take a second to think of your face
When I feel down I take a second to think of your face
Looking back at all the things that you have left behind
I know someone as good as you is really hard to find
Overthinking I can't sleep to many thoughts of mine
Sitting by the window watching how the city shine
Late night, staying up had no problem chatting
Told me money wasn't real but you were really stacking
Visionary, saw it all before it even happened
Sometimes I trip and I still think that I can hear you laughing
Tried to drink the pain away but now I'm gone
I wish the people that I lost could call my phone
Emotions tangled up but still remaining strong
I thought I lost myself but been here all along
I know the struggles that we face are for the moment
We cannot run from it so we have to own it
Protect your peace don't miss out on that component
Man in the mirror why you look like my opponent
