Royal Ryan - Changes

I remember graduating then I got the news that you had lung cancer
At first I was feeling hopeful, but then it turned into feelings of anger
Things kept getting worse, I could see it on my dad's face
I remember the last day I saw you
You were talking to me about keeping the faith
You told me to always believe things will get better
Yeah and since you've been gone
I've been trying my hardest to keep everything together
You went home that November in twenty sixteen
That was hard hearing my dad upset like that
I was only eighteen
I thought the best people lived the longest
I know it's not true now, but I wish it was
Since you've been gone there's been so many changes
I look around everyday at all these faces
And I'm sad that you're not here
You should be here
Since you've been gone there's been so many changes
I look around everyday at all these faces
I'm sad that you're not here
You should be here
For so long I was numb but
Then I met her
I know you don't like cuss words
But fuck cancer
One of these days I will find an answer
Nobody should have to suffer
Sometimes it just makes me wonder
What'd it'd be like if you were still here
Maybe you would've supported me and my career
I just feel like you would've been happy as long as I'm happy
If you were still here, you could've met my fiance and son
And we'd go to your house and have fun, yeah dinner is at one
I know in another universe, that probably will happen
I'm picturing us happy, you holding Aj
Were all sitting there laughing damn
Back to the present my dad has struggled since you've been gone
Shit we all have, I just see it with him
But we keep on keeping on
I think we motivated him after we told him that we were expecting
He stopped drinking and smoking
Which that is another blessing
And I just want you to know everyday I feel your presence
When I look at my son
Since you've been gone there's been so many changes
I look around everyday at all these faces
And I'm sad that you're not here
You should be here
Since you've been gone there's been so many changes
I look around everyday at all these faces
I'm sad that you're not here
You should be here
For so long I was numb but
Then I met her
If you've ever lost someone to cancer you're not alone
They might not be here physically anymore
But they will always be here in spirit
And live on inside of you never forget that
