Blacksburg, VA, 2007 Imperfect

[Verse 1]
Change
It's a funny thing
How it sneaks up on you, and makes memories feel a lifetime away
I remember that day
It began like any other
Till shots were fired at the campus... people dying and ducking for cover
But you didn't go in that day
And I was just glad you were safe
I never could've imagined how this would impact me in such a massive way
Till a few days later
You said the world was gonna end
And I didn't believe you but honestly for us it did
Cause nothing was the same after that day that we left to give you a break
In a few weeks we thought you'd be fine
That's how long we had planned to stay
But those weeks turned into months
And mom knew she'd have to explain
That we couldn't go back just yet
Cause she knew that it wasn't safe
But I never understood back then why we couldn't be a family again
I missed having a father I missed being a son
But I didn't know what you had done
I'm not so clueless anymore
I know the things that you said to her
I see now we were under attack
So don't you dare ever come back
