I've been working on my music now for ten years But my buddy Josh turned it into my career We were thirteen when we made our first band And from that moment on I knew I had to take a chance But when the band broke up me and Josh stayed friends And knew that we'd be with each other til the end And we were but it came too soon Cause Josh lost his fight with depression at 22 I already knew he was struggling it had been some time Since his family told me details 'bout his life So I wasn't surprised when I heard the news But you never think this sort of thing will happen to you And now it's been a year and there hasn't been a word written Only tears cause I wish that it had went different And I fear no one will remember his name But I ain't gonna let him fade away So this one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God This one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God I was shocked when I found out but it made sense Cause things were always tense back home with the 'rents And his meds didn't help he never felt like belonged But even still I can't believe my friend is really gone Cause I wrote my first song cause of him He said that drummers couldn't write So I taught myself piano on a whim And the thing is we fought so much but we'd recover That's why I never wonder what its like to have a brother I wish I could of helped him but every single time When I asked him "how you holding up" he told me his was fine And I took him at his word we were so competitive So the stories that he told me were highly edited He's the Bennington to my Shinoda can't believe he won't get older Only thing that gives me closure is his pain is finally over Now I shoulder his legacy with pride I just wish that I could have said goodbye So this one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God This one goes out to Josh all the people that we've lost Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot This one goes out to Josh I just hope he's better off I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God This one goes out to Josh And all the people that we've lost yeah Gotta keep em in our thoughts or they're gonna get forgot I can't wait til we can talk when I say hello to God This one goes out to Josh And all the people that we've lost
