These Days

Another song I wrote a while back and haven't shared publicly. Written in memory of Kuya BJ and others who have passed on into paradise.

=======================================

As these days pass me by
So grows the pain
While watching videos of you I cry
Or when I hear your name
Oh I can hardly sleep
Just can’t find my way
My body’s feeling weak
And life ain’t the same
Without you

Tell me why’d you have to go?

‘Cause I’m sittin’ here wondering
When are you coming back to me
I feel a part of me dying
And I just don’t want things to be
It’s not supposed to be this way
You should’ve been alive and happy
Still feel your presence and your energy
But fate wanted you at peace these days

Been living so many memories
Sometimes laughing, sometimes hurting me
Endless crying, screaming out why
Why God chose to take away your life
Oh I can’t see the reason
There’s no sense at all
A lost faith in this confusion
In a state of no control
I miss you

Tell me why’d you have to go?

‘Cause I’m sittin’ here wondering
When are you coming back to me
I feel a part of me dying
And I just don’t want things to be
It’s not supposed to be this way
You should’ve been alive and happy
Still feel your presence and your energy
But fate wanted you at peace these days

Still in shock losing you so soon
There’s a harmony missing in this tune
The heavens had called your phone
Couldn’t you leave the ringing alone
Let the voicemail answer cuz it wasn’t time
Can’t you see that these days don’t shine
Why can’t I just see you now
Just want to see you smile again somehow
Too impatient to wait for heaven’s gate
Please tell me this is all a mistake

‘Cause I’m sittin’ here wondering
When are you coming back to me
I feel a part of me dying
And I just don’t want things to be
It’s not supposed to be this way
You should’ve been alive and happy
Still feel your presence and your energy
But fate wanted you at peace these days
