About

I wrote this song about two people that I cared about that died when they shouldn't have when they were taken away too young and not their time when was best friend that was most kind-hearted and loved his family and only wanted to do the right thing for his unborn daughter but he never got the holder I forgot to see her laugh because those evil people took them away for his time he was only 19 and the other person she was special she treated me like a family she called me a sister-in-law when I was torn down by past trauma she was taken away at the age of 32 I lost these two people that were very special to me and I miss them dearly every single day so I wrote this song for them the ones that were taken way too soon when it's not their time to go and the loved ones they left behind

Lyrics

Verse 1

Sixteen and the world felt small

A boy with gentle hands

Walked us home when the night got tall

You never asked for anything back

Pre-Chorus

They say it looked like you chose to go

But I knew your laugh I knew your soul

You wanted a daughter you never got to hold

Chorus

You should still be here

You should still be here

Nineteen years was not enough

I still hear your voice in the quiet stuff

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, come back

Oh-oh, come back

Verse 2

And her I wore on my skin in ink

She said I'm not a monster don't you think

That I would ever turn away

She hugged me close and called me family

Pre-Chorus

She asked me when the wedding day would be

Now I'm the one still standing in the grief

Thirty-two and gone so suddenly

Chorus

You should still be here

You should still be here

You were kind you were good you were everything

How does heaven take the ones who'd never sting

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, come back

Oh-oh, come back

Bridge

I'm scared

I'm scared to lose another one

I'm scared the good ones always run

Out of time out of air out of luck

I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

Chorus

You should still be here

You should still be here

Meet me by the golden gates someday

I'll find you both and I will finally say

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, I miss you

Oh-oh, I miss you
