People come in to your life, and may never realize the impact that they left on you. Simple memories get played over and over in your head until they are as much part of you as anything else. This song is about watching the creator of those memories leave, and holding back sharing those. However you hold them close, and re-visit them to remind you of special moments and people.
lyrics
So she's gone, and I stayed
So she's gone, always knew she'd fly away
I never tried to claim her, and I knew I never could
So she's gone, and I stand, where she stood
Heaven send a strong storm down
Help me wash bitter words from my mouth
The same wall that held back, my fair-well please don't go
Kept me silent as she faded down the road
All you left was a footprint in the mud
And the memories I never will return
So go run into the rain, on the dirt trail where we met
You won't look back, I won't forget
My last breath is coming soon
Caught the end like and old mans known to do
I filled a box with pages, pictures all of you
Takes me back, to that girl just passing through
All you left was a footprint in the mud
And the memories I never will return
So go run into the rain, on the dirt trail where we met
You won't look back, I won't forget
So go run into the rain, on the dirt trail where we met
You won't look back, I won't forget
