You Weren't Ready

It was early morning
When you got the call
You weren't ready

And when I heard the news
I rushed home
And we rushed out
Four hours north
It was all a blur

When we arrived at the hospital
The building loomed
Like the scene inside
I knew we'd find
I wish we were wrong

Then we found his room
And you couldn't enter
You had to pause to take a breath
You weren't ready

When they finally told you
That he was gone
You wailed
And I can still hear that sound

And I can still hear that
When I sleep
And I wish that we
Never knew
How it felt
To lose a loved one
You weren't ready

I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared you'll die young

I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared you'll die young
I'm scared

Everything that we love
Is not vanishing
They're simply changing
And I know
It's alright to be scared
I know that I am
I know
It's alright to be scared
I know that I am

Whether we want to
Or we have to
We are always moving forward
Whether we want to
Or we have to
We are always moving forward
Whether we want to
Or we have to
We are always moving forward
Whether we want to
Or we have to
We are always moving forward
