They say it gets easier with time
Pain and heartache
“Everything will be okay, just wait and see.”
But it’s been five years
And it’s only gotten harder
At least for me.

That was the day I lost who I was
Everything I’d ever believed
That was the day they took Him from me
What I’d do to see Him again
It’s been five years
And I’m still as sad as I was then.

The day He was murdered, I was proven wrong
Some people weren’t good
Some people weren’t loving
And though it pains me admit
It’s been five years
And there’s still that issue of trusting.

Forgive and Forget is the motto of many
But when you go through something like that
How many can actually do it?
I try to, I really do
But it’s been five years
And the pain and anger has stored up quite a bit.

Back then I struggled to deal with it
Today, I struggle to deal with it
I wish someone understood
What it’s like to lose a brother
Five years is a long time
To not have any closure

They say it gets easier with time
Pain and heartache
“Everything will be okay, just wait and see.”
But it’s been five years
And it’s only gotten harder
At least for me.
