The Hardest Part (Original Demo) - Alexander 23

I thought that everybody gets older

But I guess that's not the case

'Cause you said goodbye to your family last night

You were only twenty-eight

And the year is gonna get a lot colder

But you'll always be stuck in June

When the trees turn red, will it hit me then

That I'm not gonna see you soon?

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

I never said goodbye, and now it's sinking in

That the last time I saw you, we were kids

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

Yeah, I thought that everybody gets better

But I guess that's not the truth

Took a drive last night, tried to clear my mind

But I turned the whole highway blue

Yeah, the only thing that went through my head is you

I never said goodbye, and now it's sinking in

That the last time I saw you, we were kids

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

And I don't know what to

Say to your little brother

Who am I to say, "It's gonna be okay"?

My mom is friends with your mother

Catching up is never gonna be the same

No more texts on your birthday

Every time another friend says your name

No, I don't know what to say

I never said goodbye, and now it's sinking in

That the last time I saw you, we were kids

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

I wish I would have tried harder to stay in touch

I thought we had more time, too busy growing up

I guess the hardest part of getting old

Is that some people that you love don't

And I don't know what to

Say to your little brother

Who am I to say, "It's gonna be okay"?

My mom is friends with your mother

Catching up is never gonna be the same

No more texts on your birthday

Every time another friend says your name

No, I don't know what to say

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
