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
I never said goodbye
And now it's sinkin' in
That the last time I saw you
We were kids
I guess the hardest part of gettin' 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, I cried when I read
The last text that you sent
Cause I'll never see
Those three dots there again
I never said goodbye
And now it's sinkin' in
That the last time I saw you
We were kids
I guess the hardest part of gettin' 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's friends with your mother
Catchin' up is never gonna be the same
No more text 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 sinkin' in
That the last time I saw you
We were kids
I guess the hardest part of gettin' 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 growin' up
I guess the hardest part of gettin' old
Is that some people that you love don't
