This is for your wedding/funeral day   You always liked to be the center of attention   So here you are   Dressed so beautiful   Just like I remember   Always outshining the rest   Sun, moon, and stars   You face looks so content   As I walk to find a chair   Just a few feet away, but miles apart      Why did I let you go   How could I let you leave my side   Would have been something amazing   Should have been wild   Why did I let you go   How could I let you leave my side   Would have been something amazing   Should have been wild and learned      I'm a great burning lament to this day   But I realize now you're in a better place   Hands will tremble   As you're lowered down the aisle   But you won't look at me   Not so much as smile   I want to stand up and speak my peace   And let your hollow pieces walk away      Why did I let you go   How could I let you leave my side   Would have been something amazing   Should have been wild   Why did I let you go   And let you leave my side   Would have been something   Should have been wild   Why did I let you go   How could I let you leave my side   Would have been something amazing   Should have been wild   Why did I let you go   How could I let you leave my side   Should have been something   Should have been wild and learned
