Never Fade Away (feat. Clayton Johnson)

So if you saw me would you recognize the moves I've made?
 Or will we sit, and talk about all my new mistakes?
 Would it be like it was?
 Or would the feelings change?
 The only constant I know: nothing stays the same
 You left quick, leaving me without a clue
 I'm not mad, it probably felt the same to you
 I still can't believe it
 Nothing I can say
 The worst part is I know these memories will fade
 I never thought I had to picture life without you in it
 Picture me cryin' at your house when I'm at family dinner
 I felt the pain and grief, but still sit back and grit my teeth
 Asking why but I know that these questions never bring relief
 I'm just a kid; I never thought I'd lose my closest friend
 I'm hoping that you know that I'll always keep you inside my head
 And when we meet again I'll ask you if I made you proud
 But for now I'll just look for your face inside the crowd
 The only thing that stays the same is change
 I pray that everyday I'd see your face
 And I know that you'll never go
 I promise we will meet again some day, you'll never fade away
 So when your time is up, then it's your time to split
 The time we had together, nothing compares to it
 Would you laugh at the problems I've created?
 Or try to give some advice on how to change it?
 All I wanna know is how you've been
 And I would give anything if I could talk to you just a second
 Every lesson is a space to grow
 Everybody has a time when no matter what, they have to go
 Confusion, losing the closest thing leaves you left in ruins
 Tryin' to beat my heart back on, it's just left with new bruises
 I'm tryna prove that there's reason behind the tears and pain
 A reason I'm breathing but you're not next to me doing the same
 I've come to see that even though you're gone, you never left
 And bet that everything I do compared to you is second best
 So, when we meet again we'll pick up where we left it
 And I can fill that hole that's in the place of where my chest is
 The only thing that stays the same is change
 I pray that everyday I'd see your face
 And I know that you'll never go
 I promise we will meet again some day, you'll never fade away
 I'm checking in to let you know I'm doing fine
 I know you're watching, I feel you here from time to time
 I hit a few road bumps along the way
 And still find myself thinking 'bout you everyday
 I used to beg for a sign to know you're really here
 Until I realized you've always made 'em crystal clear
 Keep a piece of me and know that I'ma be okay
 And hold on to that 'til we meet again someday
 The only thing that stays the same is change
 I pray that everyday I'd see your face
 And I know that you'll never go
 I promise we will meet again some day, you'll never fade away
 So, who's to say you're really gone?
 We all know you're still right here
 And all I ask from you
 Just don't forget about me
