I watch a dream die
Saw the flicker fall from the prettiest eyes
To young to realize that this would stick with me for all my life
You went away for days to find better ways to better u and I
Apologize I should have been more wise
I should have been more wise

She said cheers here's to her very last year
So happy you all could be here oh so sincere
And I can't seem to get my conscience clear
It's true she said this songs for you and all I put you through
I just wanted to make you proud
A tear fail down and they screamed out loud here here

I gave you broken glass and when you asked
I said this is my heart and how you make me feel
Hard to conceal when it's all torn apart
You gave me all you had the good and bad
So who am I to choose confused so much to lose
Only time can heal the memories that bruise
The memories that bruise

She said cheers here's to her very last year
So happy you all could be here oh so sincere
And I can't seem to get my conscience clear
It's true she said this songs for you and all I put you through
I just wanted to make you proud
A tear fail down and they screamed out loud here here

Broken, balled up in the bottom bottle
Time ticks the hours of the day hoping for tomorrow
Sorrow swept the north side of chicago
She off track but that's my momma follow
To see me stumbling was the hardest sip to swallow
So I wallowed in the back wash of wishes
Dying each day in the dumbest of conditions
Fare from what she visioned she just happy that we liven
Finally pulled herself together with the grace that had been given
I shortly after did the same, no intervention
And this is how I say I love you my only intentions
And this is how I say I love you
Cheers

She said cheers here's to her very last year
So happy you all could be here oh so sincere
And I can't seem to get my conscience clear
It's true she said this songs for you and all I put you through
I just wanted to make you proud
A tear fail down and they screamed out loud here here
