Jeffrey Gaines Sorry The Very Next Day Lyrics

When I was younger

I used to wish you were out of my mind

But now that I'm older

I think of you all the time

I couldn't understand when I was small

'Cause you were strong and standing six-feet tall

Why your legs would crumble under you

And you'd fall

And I never could figure it out

When you'd come home you'd scream and shout

I'd just turn my head and run

Come back when you were done

Cry myself to sleep cursing your name

And you were sorry when the next day came

I gathered my anger

I built a wall no one could break through

Then I grew colder

Made it especially hard for you I couldn't understand it if I tried

You had so much honor, such pride

How something was eating you up inside

And I know that it was wrong of me

How I never even tried to see

How you kicked the bottle for peace of mind

Then all too late I found a friend in you

Did all the things that good friends do

Worked together and talked about girls

Talked of dreams and traveling the world

Then your life was taken away

And I was sorry the very next day

When I was younger

I used to wish you were out of my mind

Now that I'm older

I think of you all the time
