When Jamie died And I didn't understand The eternity of my sadness I wished I could have prevented it
When I rest in bed Dream about how I could have Lived and played with my brother How I wished that I could have saved him
If wishing could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then, I remember... It happened anyway
When I look at pictures And imagine what he would be like Now a dozen years old I wish I could have saved him from agelessness
If crying could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then I remember... It happened anyway
When I think of why and how He was with us and left us I wished I could have prevented it And stopped his death, and saved him from Never needing breath for birthday candles... For birthday candles
If wishing could bring him back He'd be here with me today But then I remember...
When Jamie died I didn't understand Oh, but then I remember It happened anyway It happened anyway It happened anyway
