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
