The Hardest Part

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 (Some people that you love don't) (Some people that you love don't)
