    We were ready for anything

    Everyone has some pain
    I see the loss every time someone says your name
    When you know someone who shines hard
    A soul of the age who doesn't care
    Who the fuck you are
    You had a friend, a brother who was everything
    But he had to go away...that was yesterday
    I've lost a lot of people in my time
    The good, the bad, the unreal,
    And the ones who shine
    So i know you all understand
    When i say that until they left
    We were ready for anything
    We were ready for anything
    We were ready for anything...but this

    You are not gone
    We keep you here inside us
    You are not gone
    We know you're still beside us
    You are not gone
    We have the light you gave to us

    Now it's time to lay to rest our friend
    And through these songs
    His memory will never fucking end
    We still see that
    Through this we'll shed some light on you
    Until the day you left us

    We were ready for anything
    We were ready for anything
    We were ready for anything...but this

    You are not gone
    We keep you here inside us
    You are not gone
    We know you're still beside us
    You are not gone
    We have the light you gave to us

    Why'd you have to go? we never had a chance
    I can't believe it so i won't admit it
    Life ain't shit without you in it

    You are not gone
    We keep you here inside us
    You are not gone
    We know you're still beside us
    You are not gone
    We have the light you gave to us

    Everybody says the light that shines the brightest
    Burns out fast
    But what they never say is
    All the light they gave us lasts
    We hold the memories and cherish
    Everyday we had
    But we would give it up in a second
    Just to have you
    Back!!!
