What do you do when you cant do no more?

Sink to the ground and put your head on the floor?

You can't turn back time and you can't undo wrong.

You can't say you're sorry, 'cause  you waited to long.

The guilt eats you up and you take all the blame.

If I was nicer, would things be the same?

 

We never know when the time will be over,

when hurt will flow through us and we'll need a kind shoulder.

We want to believe that things weren't this way,

that we could be happy and have fun today.

We want to wake up this is all just a dream.

We want to feel better and just feel redeemed.

 

We hurt and we scream and the tears keep on flowing.

Our hearts fill with sadness and emotions are showing.

We're all here together, we all hurt in some way.

We'll all pull together to get through the day.

 

Because of our loss, things won't be the same.

Times, things, and places will now rearrange.

But if we press forward with our heads up high,

I know we'll get through this, I know we'll get by.

 

We all loved him dearly, we'll all miss him so.

But we'll see Josh again and in that I know!

He won't be forgotten, He won't fade away.

He's in all our hearts and we'll ssee him one day!
