Life Goes Too Fast

Verse 1

June eighteenth, the sun was high

You walked in and never walked out

A life cut down in broad daylight

For a wallet and some doubt

They took your chains, they took your breath

Left a legend on the ground

I replay the moments in my head

Wish you never went downtown

Chorus

I wish you never went to that store

I wish you had turned around

The world lost a voice that mattered more

Than the silence that you found

I wish you never went to that store

Still hear you in the sound

Verse 2

You were more than just the headlines

More than anger, more than pain

You were trying to find the sunlight

Through the thunder and the rain

They saw a target, not a person

Didn't know what you'd become

Now we carry what you taught us

Even after you were gone

Chorus

I wish you never went to that store

I wish you had turned around

The world lost a voice that mattered more

Than the silence that you found

I wish you never went to that store

Still hear you in the sound

Bridge

Jahseh, you were just a kid

With a heart too big to hide

Now the questions never end

Stuck forever in July

Outro

Never went to that store

Never went to that store

I wish you never went to that store
