Kassidy’s Shirt

[Verse 1:]
I wish could turn those tears into dreams
I swore I could've heard you scream for help
Only seven when I met you
Didn’t know the damage life delt
Through my eyes, It was beautiful watching you grow
We lived a fast life slow
What do you know
I remember that smiled glowed
In the blistering cold, and knee-high snow
Has the DS's signing X and Os
Street lights came on yeah we had to go
Fourth grade me like
"there's something I want to tell you"
Too shy me said
"Never mind ill see you soon"
Next day knocking at my door got me outta my room
What’s that secret you hiding, Oh I don't remember
Knowing damn well I did
Was a kid with a crush and I didn't know much
Except for when it rained, it poured
Should express myself more
Before you had tears on your shirt
On kassidy's shirt

[Verse 2]
Warm summer sunsets used to gaze up
At the sky and compare each other's eyes
Raised up like true kids
The truth is
I miss those times where the imaginations roofless
And clueless to the world around us
In that back lot
Would just sit and talk
Walk and throw rocks
Who knew the happiest people would love the most
But in their minds would suffer in woes
Every storm is followed by a rainbow
Life is episodes of pain and gain
Such a shame to see
Where soulful light
Turned to so cold nights
From a youngful life
Hate that stone hold knife
Created a wrongful sight
To some that a scope shot tie
Hope you don't choke on rope
Or cope with wine
Mad is the world
Left you, sad girl
I wish I could of wiped those tears off your face
And changed upcoming fates
That would leave tears on your shirt

[Verse 3:]
Fast forward a few years
Pretty close to new years
Where new fears stand out
Always reached your hand out
From illness to your ma shoe'n a dog that got me cornered
A little bit older by a few months
You was feeling blue
Life had you down by a couple of dunks
Wondered what's wrong
I thought I was strong
But you were much stronger
Dreaming like "How do I belong here"
See dear
There’s much more ways to lose innocence
Then the drugs we touch
Love and heartbreaks I feel loss as such
Used to love to make your face blush
Isn’t it strange
How times strange
Lifestyles re-arrange and we changed
Views range, and pain drains
Stripped from saturation till the world goes blank
And we the captains of our own ship sank deep
Wondered how often you couldn't sleep
Late at night what kind of demons you fight
Honesty in the letters I write
Get high and let time fly above you
Cause I wondered if you felt if anybody really loved you
An example of roses in concrete
On her own two feet
Man I just wish you never felt defeat
And put tears on your shirt

[Verse 4]
Last call after all
Seems like just last week
Last speak august twenty-fifteen
Picked my iPhone buzzing
I was blown away, Nothing I was prepared to hear
Although my mind wasn’t clear
That call was a call for help ignored
Hate how I didn't think more
What kind of asshole would say no
I guess myself am an asshole
Got to think and raise our glasses and toast
Maybe I should apologize
No instead look with real eyes and realize
That some options are temporary, some are forever
And if she ever hears this song
Let it be clear I was in the wrong
And she belongs somewhere better
I still sit and reminisce down memory lane
The changes are plain to see
Life's sweet memories are fruit to a tree
And I can't help but think
For no more tears on your shirt
