We were ready for anything 

Everyone has some pain 

I see the loss every time someone says your name 

When you know someone who shines hard 

A soul of the age who doesn't care 

Who the fuck you are 

You had a friend, a brother who was everything 

But he had to go away...that was yesterday 

I've lost a lot of people in my time 

The good, the bad, the unreal, 

And the ones who shine 

So I know you all understand 

When I say that until they left 

We were ready for anything 

We were ready for anything 

We were ready for anything...but this 

You are not gone 

We keep you here inside us 

You are not gone 

We know you're still beside us 

You are not gone 

We have the light you gave to us 

Now it's time to lay to rest our friend 

And through these songs 

His memory will never fucking end 

We still see that 

Through this we'll shed some light on you 

Until the day you left us 

We were ready for anything 

We were ready for anything 

We were ready for anything...but this 

You are not gone 

We keep you here inside us 

You are not gone 

We know you're still beside us 

You are not gone 

We have the light you gave to us 

Why'd you have to go? we never had a chance 

I can't believe it so I won't admit it 

Life ain't shit without you in it 

You are not gone 

We keep you here inside us 

You are not gone 

We know you're still beside us 

You are not gone 

We have the light you gave to us 

Everybody says the light that shines the brightest 

Burns out fast 

But what they never say is 

All the light they gave us lasts 

We hold the memories and cherish 

Everyday we had 

But we would give it up in a second 

Just to have you 

Back!!!
