Headstone by Evan Barlow Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm flipping through pages of our memories
The things that we did when we were seventeen
We were kids then, searching for a feeling
Looking back now, it all makes sense to me
All of these signs, somehow I couldn't see
You were bleeding, searching for a feeling
[Verse 1]
I got the call in the morning
You took it all with no warning
Oh, I wish we could talk
To find out why
[Chorus]
When I need your company
All I got's a headstone
I can't seem to let go
And now I see, you needed me
Maybe I'm the one who left you
I wish I could've helped you
[Verse 2]
You had a smile that could brighten the room
Nights by the fire under life on the moon
We were kids then, searching for a feeling
Nothing can change it, there's no one to blame
I know your pain 'cause I feel it the same
And I wish that we could take it all back
[Spoken]
We got hooked on the rush
And when the drug wore off
We didn't know why we felt so sad
We just knew how to make it go away
Just kids with no knowledge
You don't know what to do, you don't know where to go
You're scared, the depression takes over your brain and turns into an obsession you can't control
I wish things could've been different and we could've gotten you home but you can't change the past
So the only thing I hope is that you're free now
[Bridge]
There goes my best friend, in my soul, he's resting
I got so many questions, but it's too late
There goes my brother, up there with my mother
Tell her that I love her, it's too late
[Chrous]
When I need your company
All I got's a headstone
I can't seem to let go
And now I see, you needed me
Maybe I'm the one who left you
I wish I could've helped you
I'm flipping through pages of our memories
The things that we did when we were seventeen
We were kids then, searching for a feeling
Looking back now, it all makes sense to me
All of these signs, somehow I couldn't see
You were bleeding, searching for a feeling
[Verse 1]
I got the call in the morning
You took it all with no warning
Oh, I wish we could talk
To find out why
[Chorus]
When I need your company
All I got's a headstone
I can't seem to let go
And now I see, you needed me
Maybe I'm the one who left you
I wish I could've helped you
[Verse 2]
You had a smile that could brighten the room
Nights by the fire under life on the moon
We were kids then, searching for a feeling
Nothing can change it, there's no one to blame

And I wish that we could take it all back
