Amelia 

by Tonight Alive

I think about you every single day.

And every time I see your face, I wake. 

And it brings me to tears. 

We hadn't spoken in years. 

We were close when we were young and naive.

We grew up and we learned other things.

You'll always be sweet 16.

And you will always be perfect,

you'll always be beautiful.

Our hearts, will never forget you.

You didn't belong here, 

and it's become so clear why heaven called your name.

I miss you, and it still feels like I know you.

I've got pictures of us side by side to show you.

But it feels like I owe you so much more. 

And you will always be perfect,

you'll always be beautiful.

Our hearts, will never forget you.

You didn't belong here, 

and it's become so clear why heaven called you name.

And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time? 

Are we dreaming? 

We'll never let go of you. 

Wish you were here, but it's becoming clear,

that Earth's just not the place for an angel like you.

For an angel like you.

You meant so much to so many.

I'm not quite sure how to do justice to you

if they're ready to say goodbye.

I know I'm not.

You made the news and the paper for days and days,

but it hardly seems fair. 

The whole world should know your name.

I want them to know your name. 

And you will always be perfect,

you'll always be beautiful.

Our hearts, will never forget you.

You didn't belong here, 

and it's become so clear why heaven called your name.

And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time? 

Are we dreaming? 

We'll never let go of you. 

Wish you were here, but it's becoming clear,

that Earth's just not the place for an angel like you.

And now we, must let you move forward. 

Our love lies with you.

Our souls fly with you, Amelia.
