walked out that door thinking
thinking this be the last time I'd hear that voice
your forty long my two years short
you saw your world
rise succeed, fail and fall
finally threw in the towel, I'd just begun

you didn't speak to me just because I had a fresh pair of ears
you didn't share your stories to boast or brag making yourself seem bigger than you appeared

i hope you know what you did for me
i pray I gave hope back to you

walked out that door
thinking I need to take another step forward
find what I love what I live for
and shortly afterward
you closed the door to years of long hard work
when your passions ripped away
what do you live for?

i hope you know what you did for me
i pray I gave hope back to you
everyday I hope someone will see in me
all the joy I saw in you
and rest now believe

artie

and never was I taught
to admire someone like you
the opposite, the unworthy would only
leave you more confused
for so long i gave my praise
to someone i never knew
listened to cover ups and liars, those who
never followed through

i hope you know what you did for me
i pray I gave hope back to you
everyday I hope someone will see in me
all the joy I saw in you

and rest now believe
i'll take our dream
and make it reality
