You left some hope instilled in me
That I never should give up on anything
I know this made you proud of me
So this song remains for those who hurt like me
The man in black. He rides alone to a final destination unknown.
The man in black. He rides alone: he's moving on.
Not coming home.
I used to be the fearless one.
Living each day like death would never come
Now I feel his cold breath on my neck
He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next.
Before I used to take these wings and I'd fly so high
(I'd fly so high. I tried...)
Now I live in regret never coming down to say goodbye
Oh why can't I?
The man in black. He rides alone to a final destination unknown.
The man in black. He rides alone: he's moving on.
I can't follow.
I used to be the fearless one.
Living each day like death would never come
Now I feel his cold breath on my neck
He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next.
So make way for the man in black
So make way. He's never coming back.
I am so lost at sea
Ryan, shine the light for me
I'm sinking, I can't swim
I need you here to pull me in
I am so lost at sea
Ryan, shine your light for me
I'm sinking, I can't swim
I miss you brother.
You will never dim.
I never expected for this song or album for that matter to impact me the way that it has. I mean I've always loved TGI, but their music has never had a huge impact on me emotionally until I heard this song. I remember driving to Austin's birthday party, practically in tears by the end of this song. It brought out so many emotions in me that I never knew I had. That night, I was listening to this song bawling my eyes out. It reminded me of my brother, and how much I miss him. It's like you don't know what it's like to have a sibling that you've never had a relationship with. I see so many people especially at Argyle who take advantage of the relationships they have with their brothers and sisters. I would kill to have the relationships they have with their siblings. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him and desperately wish that things were different.
