LYRIC FOR SALE

By David Cox

You fought demons I couldn’t see
I always assumed the problem was me
All your problems I would never know
We all felt them from time to time though

I’m not pretending to ever think I’m better
We’ll bear your scars too, probably forever
To your credit, you tried to heal
But the pain we’ll always somehow feel

All the things you had to go through
I know I couldn’t, even if I had to
Too many things you could never unsee
I often wondered how you kept your sanity

Not to say you never crossed the line
We all saw your hurt from time to time
There was no doubt you had a hard life
So many battles you never wanted to fight

In the end, you just couldn’t win the war
But you fought until you couldn’t anymore
And after you got your final salute
Not a day goes by I don’t miss you


So now, rest easy and in solemn peace
It’s time we all cherish pain’s sweet release
I see it clearer than I ever did before
And I don’t carry that weight anymore
