Aviation – Why? lyrics

I know a lot of people that could probably relate
Losing a parent
Having so many thoughts and pain
That stays hidden for years
And no one knows what's you go through
And you know it gets hard sometimes
When I sit and think
I don't have to many memories really
But the ones I do have
I hold on too and cherish...
Dad this is for you

You were taken away from me
When I was only seven
I guess you already had a place
Made heaven
Now I'm thinking
Did this really happen that day
When you died
Then your soul was just captured away
Faded to gray
Now there is no more blue skies
I thought life was given
To everyone who tried
Why him
You had to choose
The killers and crooks
Now I'm writing this in my hands
I'm feeling real shook
The feelings it took
I tried to hide my tears
Tucked them away
And put them deep inside my fears
Couldn't confide them, peers
No one knew what was wrong
They were all young and didn't
No what was going on
But I did I remember all the pain I felt
Fear dripping down my face just like rain it felt
Damn this world
I just tried not to think
But that's just as hard
Trying not to blink
Sometimes I just sit and think
And look at the sky
If I could no one thing
And think, I wanna know why
Why half the time,
Why you took him that day
When you left
Part of me was taken away
Sometimes I just sit and think
And look at the sky
If I could no one thing
And think, I wanna know why
Why half the time,
Why you took him that day
When you left
Part of me was taken away

I don't remember
The day or the time you you died
Don't care too
But I visit your grave
Cause I cared for you
We got you lights in the trees
And that you'd have them for Christmas
If I could talk to you
You'd probably say you'd miss us
But don't worry
One day we'll all be together
And on that day
It will be bright and sunny weather
Us together father and son once again
And we'll talk about how many damn months it been
It's been so long
Since I talked to you
I remember fishing and walks with you
Damn you didn't see me graduate at all
And dad I'm 6 foot
I grew up to be tall
A lot of people say
I look just like you
Sometimes the pain of death feels like a rifle
When I think to hard I need a tissue
If I could tell you one thing
I wouldt be I miss you

Sometimes I just sit and think
And look at the sky
If I could no one thing
And think, I wanna know why
Why half the time,
Why you took him that day
When you left
Part of me was taken away
Sometimes I just sit and think
And look at the sky
If I could no one thing
And think, I wanna know why
Why half the time,
Why you took him that day
When you left
Part of me was taken away

I watch a video
And you acted like a crook
Drama in my life
Like it's read from a book
The day the earth cracked
Cause of the life that was took
When I walk into the funeral home
Then I be ten
Then I reminisce
Cause my tears were leaking
Couldn't take it
I was so young and confused
But now you in heaven
And got a hold of your cruise
No more crashes
You could ride without pain
Sometimes I still hear your voice
Inside of my brain
I tried to maintain
But sometimes it gets real hard
If you looked at my heart
Then you would say it's forever scarred
Forever scarred...

One day we'll be together.
