lyrics

I don't remember you as well as I should
when I went to your funeral out there in the woods
saw so few familiar faces, my family has grown thin

but Amanda came to us all tears and old goodbyes
my brother stood and took it but I couldn't dry my eyes
three years since the last one, where Grandma didn't know my name

but did you ever think you'd be a broken branch on our family tree?

so strange to think I'm now older than you'll ever be
of all the things in life you'll never get to see
they thought you were sleeping but they didn't know the score
and oh the horror when they found you on the floor

you were always older, so much stronger and taller
when I was little there's no one I'd rather follow
but as we grow older, all our heroes are torn down

so you went into the service, you left for a war
that you didn't understand, but you knew what to fight for
all the things that you'd forgotten about the man you knew you could be

but did you ever think you'd be a broken branch on our family tree?

on that cold morning did you hear the angels come?
and did they sing of silver lakes with foggy shores?
did they carry you with hands so soft and sure?
and were you scared to see the man you knew you were

I think we're all scared to see just who we really are.
