so long so loud i scream i shout
how could this be, how could this be?
a special person was snuffed out
there is no end to this here bout
i'm draining, dying, i can't flee
so long so loud i scream i shout
only one thing this is about
it's irreplaceability
a special person was snuffed out
our lives are torn up in a rout
he was what no one else will be
so long so loud i scream i shout
my blood has dried into a drought
i saw him but now cannot see
a special person was snuffed out
he left no part of him to sprout
how could this be, how could this be?
so long so loud i scream i shout
a special person was snuffed out
