It's All I Have

It's times like these I feel so helpless. It's times like these I remember I'm still alive. I wish I could take away our pain. But when I try to be strong I find myself just as useless as everyone else. We're all useless in time of death. So I hold it in tight and release it over this noise. He was the closest thing I ever had to a brother. That morning he didn't wake up. This is all I have to remember you. It's all I have. *I usually have two reactions when people close to me pass away. I feel helpless because they are gone and there is nothing I can do to bring them back. I will never see them again. Than I realize that I am still here. I am still alive. We can try to make the pain go away. We can try to get over it. But I would rather live and never forget than dwell in what we can't change. This song is about a friend of mine that I grew up with since I was about 5 years old. He was really sick and decided to go out and drink one night. The alcohol didn't agree with his sickness and the next morning he didn't wake up.*
