Nick Alone by Lupia Lyrics

Nick was sick and I was being a prick
But he taught me that someday the clock will quit its tick

What could kill a thing like you?
Nick, your heart was filled with life, it was filled so full
So many got close, and so many got hurt
We never always knew what to do

Though we never spoke, though your time has come
I still made the joke, and I am still the one broke

I fell in love with an ex
And you were always there
Sitting on my lap, chewing dog toys
Representing a past that wasn't fair

Did you die for me too?
Is there something to be learned?
We'll never understand a thing at all
But the "better" place has called for you
You were just 19 and felt grace
Now I am 20, and I wonder how much longer
It'll be till we meet face to face

Nick, why were you so sick?
And Nick, why was I being a prick?
