I Fell Apart



I Fell Apart
11/26/2011-12/14/2011

Would you look at me?
Your passing away has left me shattered.
I put in my two weeks at my job
And, I couldn’t even finish that.
They wouldn’t let me,
They just put me on suspension,
And, I never returned to that awful place again.

Did you think I was going work here forever?
Did you believe I was that soul-less?
I guess it may come as a surprise that I have a heart,
That’s bigger than your entire management team combined.
But, it’s here, it’s beating, it’s alive and it’s vibrant,
And, I swear to God, I’ll come back for all of you!

Yes, I know, I’m falling apart over you,
There’s not much else I could do,
I didn’t have a clue…
What it would feel like to lose your best friend,
And, now I’m crying again…
There is just no replacement for you…

I apply to jobs every day,
But I don’t see the purpose to this at all…
Since you’ve been gone,
I’ve lost interest and drive in everything.

I go to job interviews,
But it’s all the same,
My hearts just not in it today…
I text my friends,
To give myself a break from the pressure…
But I have less and less of those every day,
Life just seems to drag on without my Kenny…

Yes, I know, I’m falling apart over you,
There’s not much else I could do,
I didn’t have a clue…
What it would feel like to lose your best friend,
And, now I’m crying again…
There is just no replacement for you…

Bridge
I had a dream, and you were laughing, and singing,
It reminded me of days of old,
When we were still close,
Ohh hold me so tight,
I don’t want to let go,
I don’t want to let go,
No, I don’t want to…

But, then you raised your voice,
And spoke in a commanding tone…
And urged me to go on, because I had to,
To show weaker people what it takes to be strong…
Even though I’ve passed away and moved on,
You’re still alive, you survived,
And you’re going to become something
The simpler folks only dream of…

And, so I woke up, grabbed my coat,
And headed out into the world…
To make a name for myself,
Cause even without my Kenny,
I consider myself the luckiest man of all. J
