I’ve been holdin’ on to this weight
Since the day you were gone
Feels like every step I take
Just tryin’ to carry on
We fought through some hard times
In places far from home
But whatever you were fightin’
It wouldn’t leave you alone
Chorus
Man, you left too soon
And it don’t sit right
I’d give anything, brother
To pull you back into the light
You left too damn soon
But I won’t let you fade
I’ll raise one up for you
And keep livin’ how we said
I still see you smilin’
Through all the noise and the pain
We had each other’s backs
But that weight wouldn’t loosen its chain
You kept it all inside
Didn’t say a word to me
Now I’m stuck here wonderin’
Why you couldn’t just let me see
Chorus (New Progression)
Man, you left too soon
And it don’t sit right
I’d give anything, brother
To pull you back into the light
You left too damn soon
But I won’t let you fade
I’ll raise one up for you
And keep livin’ how we said
Bridge
This road feels heavy now
But I’ll keep movin’ through
I’ll carry your memory
Like I was meant to
No, I won’t forget
What we left unsaid
I’ll keep pushin’ forward
With everything you left
Outro
I’ve been holdin’ on to this weight
Since the day you were gone
Feels like every step I take
Just tryin’ to carry on

Gone Too Soon
I’ve been holdin’ on to this weight
Since the day you were gone
Feels like every step I take
Just tryin’ to carry on
We fought through some hard times
In places far from home
But whatever you were fightin’
It wouldn’t leave you alone
Chorus
Man, you left too soon
And it don’t sit right
I’d give anything, brother
To pull you back into the light
You left too damn soon
But I won’t let you fade
I’ll raise one up for you
And keep livin’ how we said
I still see you smilin’
Through all the noise and the pain
We had each other’s backs
But that weight wouldn’t loosen its chain
You kept it all inside
Didn’t say a word to me

Why you couldn’t just let me see Chorus (New Progression)
Man, you left too soon
And it don’t sit right

To pull you back into the light
You left too damn soon
But I won’t let you fade
I’ll raise one up for you
And keep livin’ how we said

This road feels heavy now
But I’ll keep movin’ through
I’ll carry your memory
