I wrote this for a friend of mine who passed away from cancer, although seriously I only met him once, but he was a good friend of my moms and an outstanding ,amazing person and very well missed. He really didnt deserve what happend to him and it just tore me apart. Please tell me what you think. =)

*verse*
why does the world spin round
a baby cry when its alone
nothing can explain the unknown
something so profound
no one can answer why it was your time to go
but your heart remains aglow

*chorus*
I learned from you that you can cry when your asleep
feel a darkness that burns so deep
That something can be sad enough to drown your own tears
to relive the somber and linger the fears
I learned from you that a life can live on
your no longer present but not well forgone
teaching in the minds of others
leaving your mark on one another
I learned from you

*verse*
You were more durable then me, you were braver then me
thats to hard to understand
to face something so wrong, and still be so strong
thats to hard to understand,
but your nothing without faith, cause your nothing without hope

you still laughed when it seemed so unfit
still shared your heart of gold
protraying an art of irony
still lived when you were about to fold

*chorus*
I learned from you that you can cry when your asleep
feel a darkness that burns so deep
That something can be sad enough to drown your own tears
to relive the somber and linger the fears
I learned from you that a life can live on
your no longer present but not well forgone
teaching in the minds of others
leaving your mark on one another
I learned from you

*verse*
Every day's a good day cause it could always be worse
But thats hard to belive when you're falling apart
Why does it always happen to the innocent?
to the ones that trace the lines of you heart?

You were healthy for the world but a posin chose you
its seems so unfair that it had to be true
Innocently accused by a scar that runs to the core
forcing you into a state of war
I know your in a better place, one with no pain
no longer living in a twisted hell, living an ill fame

*chorus*
I learned from you that you can cry when your asleep
feel a darkness that burns so deep
That something can be sad enough to drown your own tears
to relive the somber and linger the fears
I learned from you that a life can live on
your no longer present but not well forgone
teaching in the minds of others
leaving your mark on one another

*verse*
we had so little time,
but I was so sure you'd be fine
thought I'd see your face again
you didnt deserve what came to you
you were worthy of so much more
An idol in my own eyes a hero in disguese
