Just the lyrics: Through My Prayers

"Through My Prayers" by the Avett Brothers

Hard to believe I won't see you again 
We were just fighting when winter began 
The coldness of our words competing with the wind from the north 
Still they make me shiver, but in a very different way 
The pages of the calendar kept turning away
I have some better words now, but it's too late to say them to you 
My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes 
Is only to tell you and make sure you know 
How much I love you and how much I always did 
And yes I know you love me, I can see it in your eyes 
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind 
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was kid 
Feels like no one understands  
And now my only chance 
To talk to you is through my prayers 
I only wanted to tell you I care 
Every night after and every day sinceI found myself crying when the memory hit 
Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I can just put it away 
Down in my mind where I don't care to go 
The pain of a lesson is letting me know 
If you have love in your heart, let it show while you can 
Yes, now I understandBut now my only chance 
To talk to you is through my prayers 
I only wanted to tell you I careI only wanted to tell you I care

If I could put the last three years of my life into a song, this very well might be it.
