To my brother Dave,
We knew you had to go, we said a last goodbye
I made myself a promise that I wouldn't cry.
But Death is just so final, an ending so complete,
When I heard you had passed away, the pain went so deep.
I couldn't keep my promise, I couldn't help but cry.
I know how hard you fought to stay, I know how hard you tried.
One day it will be better, the pain will fade away.
But not the love I feel for you, in my heart is where you'll...
