  • I got your voicemail again seemed like you were busy
    So I tried to hide all the disappointment in the message I left behind
    If only I could be that ignorant girl for a couple more hours or so
    But I got a call, soon after that you died
    What a beautiful night, I wish you were here to see it
    We'd sit on the porch and laugh about the things that we said wrong
    And I would forgive you for all the tears
    And years we missed out on
    As we count all the leaves of Autumn, as they fall

    I don't wanna cry 'cause it doesn't help
    No, it won't bring you back to me, any sooner, sooner
    We always think we've got time, but there's no time before it's over
    And it's over
    Honest, honest
    We always think we've got time, but there's no time if we're honest
    If I'm honest

    I can't imagine the pain that you felt to get here
    And all of the blame that you put on yourself, that no one could ever see
    But I wouldn't be who I turned out to be, without the brother you were to me
    And I took a walk with Mary, she'll be fine

    I don't wanna cry 'cause it doesn't help
    No, it won't bring you back to me, any sooner, sooner
    We always think we've got time, but there's no time before it's over
    And it's over
    Honest, honest
    We always think we've got time, but there's no time if we're honest
    If I'm honest

    I always thought we'd fix things in our forties or so
    I never imagined that I'd be, the only one getting old
    Yeah, I'd like to think if I had of known
    There were only some hours left
    Before you were gone forever
    I would've called you back, sooner

    "You know I've been, I've been through a lot of crazy stuff
    And, uh, made it to the other side
    Alright, love you (I love you, babe)
    Bye y'all see you later, 'til next time
    Bye" Writer/s: Ashlyn Wilson

  • James Lester Minerva from PhilippinesThe story behind Ryne's song is heartbreaking. Now I know why I get a melancholy feeling whenever I listen to this song. Among the songs on this album, this is the saddest.
