Always on my mind Every day, every night Your star burns so bright Why did I push you away? I was scared sometimes You had a power like a lightning strike When I'm on stage sometimes I lie Say that I love singing these songs you left behind And I know you always said, "It's okay to cry" So I know I can cry, I can cry So I cry Wish I'd tried to pull you closer You pushed me hard made me focus Your words, brutal, loving, truthful I was petrified You're a hero and a human Track was done I'd make excuses You'd say, "Come on, stay for dinner" I'd say, "No, I'm fine" Now I really wish I'd stayed Always on my mind Every day, every night Your star burns so bright Why did I push you away? I was scared sometimes You had a power like a lightning strike When I'm on stage sometimes I lie Say that I love singing these songs you left behind And I know you always said, "It's okay to cry" So I know I can cry, I can cry So I cry Guilty feelings leave me fractured Got a phone call after Christmas Didn't know how I should act I watched you dance online Your sounds, your words live on endless When I make songs I remember Things you'd suggest "Make it faster!" Would you like this one? Maybe just a little bit Always on my mind Every day, every night Your star burns so bright Why did I push you away? I was scared sometimes You had a power like a lightning strike When I'm on stage sometimes I lie Say that I love singing these songs you left behind And I know you always said, "It's okay to cry" So I know I can cry, I can cry So I cry
