Ryne's Song

(Album: Ashlyn - 2021)

I got your voicemail again, seemed like you were busy
So I tried to hide all the disappointment in the message I left behind
If only I could be that ignorant girl for a couple more hours or so
But I got a call, soon after that you died
What a beautiful night, I wish you were here to see it
We'd sit on the porch and laugh about the things that we said wrong
And I would forgive you for all the tears
And years we missed out on
As we count all the leaves of Autumn, as they fall

I don't wanna cry 'cause it doesn't help
No, it won't bring you back to me any sooner, sooner
We always think we've got time, but there's no time before it's over
And it's over
Honest, honest
We always think we've got time, but there's no time if we're honest
If I'm honest

I can't imagine the pain that you felt to get here
And all of the blame that you put on yourself that no one could ever see
But I wouldn't be who I turned out to be, without the brother you were to me
And I took a walk with Mary, she'll be fine

I don't wanna cry 'cause it doesn't help
No, it won't bring you back to me any sooner, sooner
We always think we've got time, but there's no time before it's over
And it's over
Honest, honest
We always think we've got time, but there's no time if we're honest
If I'm honest

I always thought we'd fix things in our forties or so
I never imagined that I'd be the only one getting old
Yeah, I'd like to think if I had known there were only some hours left
Before you were gone forever
I would've called you back sooner

You know I've been, I've been through a lot of crazy stuff
And, uh, made it to the other side
Alright, love you (I love you, babe)
Bye y'all, see you later, 'til next time
Bye
