"Ali" lyrics

Ali you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali there were no words to stop the bullets

Concrete dreams, I could never leave
I go back to when we were 13 and 15
And 17 fall nights with the coldest breeze
All that we hoped to be
When you smiled with all your teeth

Ali you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali there were no words to stop the bullets

You should've left your home
I told you to go
I told you it wouldn't be safe
I told you it wasn't the way
You should've left your home
I told you to go
I told you it wouldn't be safe
Oh how I prayed and I prayed

And since the angel was at your door
I can't walk by anymore
You slipped through my arms
I see you on your sister's shirt
And it's hard to mask the hurt
And it's hard to mask your worth

Ali you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali there were no words to stop the bullets

Now it's only me that needs to save himself
Feel like I can't be here while you're in that realm
Oh I need time I need time
Oh I need time to mourn you
Time to mourn you (Ali)

(Ali: Started off with nothing and became something
No I don't want to be pushed around)
