This is for your wedding/funeral day You always liked to be the center of attention So here you are Dressed so beautiful Just like I remember Always outshining the rest Sun, moon, and stars You face looks so content As I walk to find a chair Just a few feet away, but miles apart Why did I let you go How could I let you leave my side Would have been something amazing Should have been wild Why did I let you go How could I let you leave my side Would have been something amazing Should have been wild and learned I'm a great burning lament to this day But I realize now you're in a better place Hands will tremble As you're lowered down the aisle But you won't look at me Not so much as smile I want to stand up and speak my peace And let your hollow pieces walk away Why did I let you go How could I let you leave my side Would have been something amazing Should have been wild Why did I let you go And let you leave my side Would have been something Should have been wild Why did I let you go How could I let you leave my side Would have been something amazing Should have been wild Why did I let you go How could I let you leave my side Should have been something Should have been wild and learned
