This song was dedicated to one of Hayley’s friends who struggled with mental health and recently passed due to mental health.
[Verse 1]
It's always the best of us
The most loving, the most gifted
A fast-burning star
In every color
I have conversations with you in my head
In my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Reachin' out to you
Up to the stars
Callin' your name
Galaxies above
I see you there
You'll never fade
[Chorus]
You're breakin', it's hurtin'
It's gonna kill you
I'm tryin' to get it
I'm gonna miss you
I asked you to stay, but
You couldn't wait anymore
I wish I was stronger
Wish I convinced you
You said that it's over
Couldn't continue
I'll love you forever
And I forgive you
[Verse 2]
You have found peace now
The silence, stillness tears mе apart
I dream in color
But I wake up and the mеmory rushes back
You come rushin' back
[Pre-Chorus]
Reachin' out to you
Up to the stars
Callin' your name
Galaxies above
I see you there
You'll never fade
[Chorus]
You're breakin', it's hurtin'
It's gonna kill you
I'm tryin' to get it
I'm gonna miss you
I asked you to stay, but
You couldn't wait anymore (You couldn't wait anymore)
I wish I was stronger
Wish I convinced you
You said that it's over
Couldn't continue
I'll love you forever
And I forgive you
[Outro]
You're breakin', it's hurtin'
It's gonna kill you
I'm tryin' to get it
I'm gonna miss you
I asked you to stay, but
You couldn't wait anymore

Recently a close friend passed away. He lost his battle with mental health. I wanted to write a song about the grieving process and struggling with the anger and confusing emotions while also knowing that the person you love is now at peace. I wrote this song and I wanted to share it with all of you...
