no names have been changed to protect anyone.
allison
i’ve been letting you go for 15 years
but all i feel’s the same
i still have the same clothes, i still taste the same tears
i still wake up with your name
on the tip of my tongue
i was so young
oh how i’ve changed
it was the homecoming dance, and we left before the end
we all piled in mikey’s car
thought this is my big chance, i was strong with all our friends
you laid your head back on my arm
but what you said, i forget
our eyes met
and i could feel your heart
now every day that’s over; every second slipped
those things i should have told her are tightening their grip
they keep holding on
i keep holding on
but you’re still gone
my allison
on a day like this, i can almost smell your hair
it was red like autumn leaves
and you know mostly what i miss, how you smiled through your cares
your laughing set me free
just knowing you, girl
you created my world
and turned me into me
allison, i should have never let you go
i was only 17 then; i didn’t know
you taught me words were the curse of the lonely and the brave
then you moved away
you moved away
