If you're hearing this, it means I'm gone
I made this just for you, 'cause you deserve to know what's going on
You probably feel betrayed
But don't let anybody tell you that those feelings that you have
Put you in the wrong
"I wish you would've told me sooner" probably what you thinking
But when we met, man my boat had already been sinking
Don't take it personal, therapy, family
I tried everything, don't think it happened in between you blinking
There's really nothing that you could've done
Man I mean you put me on your back every single time I couldn't run
But this race we call life got different finish lines
I was always faster so you can't be mad I finished mines
I'm gon' miss you, and bitch you better miss me too
Only reason I stuck around was to see you through
That dream we had, you gotta dream it on your own now
You're strong enough, for both of us, so bring it home now
I'll take one for the road
I know it's messed up I had to go
But you're makin me proud
From up in the clouds
I closed the door behind me
So don't you go trying to find me
Go make me proud
I'll be up in the clouds
Waiting for you
I tell myself "it's not my fault" there's nothing I could do
You didn't tell me 'cause you knew I'd ask if I'd come too
Or try to bargain with you, striking up these deals
That we both know would never happen, but hey
Sometimes dreams come true
I wish I knew that last hug was all I'd get
I didn't hold you tight to hear my heart, and that's my one regret
Maybe if you felt it beat against yours
You would've changed your mind
But I guess this the thanks that I get
Im writing good times down while I can still remember
I wanna tell my kids about you and our cold Decembers
I'll keep your fire alive, you always burned the brightest
Keep your coals safe, I'll make a fire out of all this ember
If you trust me to keep goin, got no choice I guess
I know your ghost applying pressure, sittin' on my chest
I'll tell your mom she raised you right, go fishing with your dad
They might've lost a kid, but me, I lost all I had
I'll take one for the road
I know it's messed up I had to go
But you're makin me proud
From up in the clouds
I closed the door behind me
So don't you go trying to find me
Go make me proud
I'll be up in the clouds
Waiting for you
I made this just for you, 'cause you deserve to know what's going on
You probably feel betrayed
But don't let anybody tell you that those feelings that you have
