Listen up and take a minute
I need to tell you why

I do the things the way
I do and weeks are flying by

I'm trying to fill a void in my life these days

By filling it with work and work

And accomplishments and praise

Anything that keeps me busy,
anything that keeps me up

Cause if I start to let it out
I think I'm never gonna stop

Afraid I'm never gonna stop

Listen up and take a minute
wherever you are

I've been mourning you with
the bottle and with my guitar

For this song I sat myself down
to put in words

What's underneath and what's unsaid
How much this whole thing hurts

How much this whole thing hurts

Listen up just take a minute
I need to tell you why

I do the things the way
I do so months are flying by

Since you're gone it isn't always easy,

all I do is run

But the hardest part, the hardest part
Was growing up your son

Was growing up your son
