Lyrics:
I think about you every single day
And every time I see your face
I wake and it brings me to tears
We hadn't spoken in years
We were close when we were young and naive
We grew up and we learned other things
You'll always be sweet 16
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
I miss you and it still feels like I know you
I've got pictures of us side by side to show you
But it feels like I owe you so much more
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time?
Are we dreaming?
We'll never let go of you
Wish you were here but it's becoming clear
That Earth's just not the place for an angel like you
For an angel like you
You meant so much to so many
I'm not quite sure how to do justice to you
If they're ready to say goodbye
I know i'm not
You made the news and the papers for days and days
But it hardly seems fair
The whole world should know your name
I want them to know your name
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
And it just doesn't seem right, was it really your time?
Are we dreaming?
We'll never let go of you
Wish you were here but it's becoming clear
That Earth's just not the place for an angel like you
And now we must let you move forward
Our love lies with you
Our souls fly with you
Amelia

Of all the times to learn of the existence of this song. She passed only a week ago, 34 years young. Drugs. None of us were ready. None of us *are* ready. Just suddenly she's gone...
We will always love you, Emilia. May you finally find peace.
This song is just made to be played acoustically, it sounds utterly amazing
Reminds me of my friend Olivia who died in a fire when she was fourteen. She died trying to save her sister (who unfortunately ended up passing a week later. she was nineteen). It's the only funeral I've ever been to and I never want to go to another one. It's been ten years since she passed. The pain does get easier but something like that stays with you for the rest of your life, especially when you're a teenager. It was the first time I experienced the death of somebody close to me, and that realization that anybody you know could go at any time is a really hard thing to accept and come to terms with. RIP Olivia (and to her sister as well). And my heart goes out to anyone who's lost someone. ❤️
I listened to this and cried my little sister Amelia came in and asked me what's wrong I just hugged her and told her to never die
+Lelandra_The_Mage AWWWWW im seriously crying right now :'(((
I lost a classmate last night from the terrible illness of lupus. She fought long and hard. The class of 2014 at Prairie Central will never forget you, Tori.
And now our community lost 2 more teen over the past 4 days. God is testing our faith and strength. Rest in peace, Ryan and Kimmy.
One of my best friends just passed away. She was only 18. She loved this song and she made a beautiful cover to it. This is the first time hearing the original. It breaks my heart..
How could someone dislike this song? It's beautiful in every way- it represents the grief we go through loosing that close, child-hood friend. For anyone who's been in the situation of watching their friend be buried is so heart breaking. But you never quite accept the fact that they're gone. I'm very thankful to have all my childhood friends, but I have lost precious family. The best thing to do when you're down is to remember- they're in heaven- watching out for you
but now we must let you move forward,
our love lies with you, our souls fly with you,
amelia...
I was front row in sheffield when she sang this...... I actually cried right there, it reminded me so much of my gran, grandad and someone who was like a second grandad to me..... 3 it's a beautiful song.
I haven’t listen to this song in years because it reminded me of someone and I ended up forgetting about it until now
I can't stop crying...
rest in peace olivia. nothing can hurt you now, baby.
Rest In Peace Sophie ♥ I love you and I hope you're happy wherever you are now. I still miss you in exactly the same way that I did 2 years ago. I love you ♥
My names Chyanne. I'm struggling to cope with the fact that my best friend Baiyz died of cancer not so long ago. I miss her everydy and I just can't get the picture of us out of my head. I cry nearly everyday because I just wish I could of said goodbye in person instead of her saying Goodbye over video her mum sent me. But I'm happy that she's out of the pain from self-harming, trying suicide and having to cope with Cancer for 3 years! R.I.P Baiyz. Love you so much!
I heard this live on Sunday, the tears that were forming in Jenna's eyes were enough to make me snap. Before the song started she had said 'this song goes out to everyone who's ever lost someone close to them'. Unluckily, I had been deleting some photos on my camera before the song - to make room for some more pictures - and I came across a picture I had taken of my Granny when she was still healthy. I had started to cry in the crowd, feeling I could fit in with how Jenna was feeling. The song
This gave me the shivers. Maybe when I die someone will write a song like this for me, or listen to this and it will make them think of me.
I'm using this song song in a memorial for a great kid. His name was Gregory, Geddie those who knew him. He was truly an amazing person, just 16 years old when his life was taken in a drowning accident. RIP Geddie, you really were an angel :)
I was at the Bristol show on the 5th February and my Grandad died on the 2nd February and they sang this and I stood there with my three friends, tears silently slipping down my face and only one of them noticed and bothered to ask if I was okay. But Jenna saw. She saw and winked at me, gently smiling. And I smiled back. It made me feel a little better.
RIP Jay
You left us too soon and all because I broke you heart. Sometimes I still blame myself for you taking your life I know it's not my fault but I still do. I thought I was over it but every now and then I'm reminded of you or what I did to you. I wish you could have forgiven me and moved on. I miss you Jay.
This was made to be an acoustic. Just wow.
This always makes me cryy! i saw them live (:
R.I.P Harley, forever 16. Forever missed.
It’s 2019 and i still listen to this song, and I don’t know why I always cry, maybe cause it happen something similar to me, but what ever.
so beautiful x
This song sounds even better acoustically, because it is all about the lyrics, and you can clearly hear the lyrics this way. Great song.
Today marks 2 months that my 16 year old baby sister took her own life ...this song helps me to understand that earth is not a place for an Angel like her. I feel like I'm dreaming .. I miss her so much & I want the whole word to know her name. She will always be perfect, she will always be beautiful. Wish she was here but my lovee lies with her..my soul flies with her. I LOVE YOU LYNETTE JEAN. 10/15/12 3
i cry every time i hear this song ;/ the first 2 seconds get me into tears...reminds me of my ex that committed suicide 5 years ago. i know this probably isn't abt a suicide but it still reminds me of her ;(
Rest in peace Olivia Jane Penpraze she made many people cry and made many heart's break the day that she ended her young life I hope too see you in the future resurrection
It reminds me of a departed friend. It's my favorite song actually.
Where ever you are, you will always and forever a friend to me.
My cousin died 3 months ago of cancer, her name was Amelia. I wish I could let Tonight Alive know how much this song means to me.
it does not fucking get better...it's been more than four years. I love you and I'll miss you forever. I know you're up there, and I hope you sometimes look down on me, I hope I've never let you down.
Thank you for the sentiment. I figured after 7 years things would get easier but they just get harder and I feel more and more responsible. I feel like there is a piece of me that i can never find. but really i appreciate the thoughts. thank you so much.
RIP ryan. 4/26/94-4/26/15 you would've been 21. you'll be missed by so many.
This song makes me cry whenever I hear it and my names amelia so that doesn't help

My name is Steve and I struggle every day to deal with the loss of my best friend Josh who decided to take his own life 7 years ago. I carry his picture with me everywhere I go and see his smile in strangers every day. All I know, is, that I couldn't save him...
Hello Steve, I know the struggle. I lost my best friend to suicide 5 years ago and it never gets easier. Just learning to accept reality. Hang in there.
I watched Jenna sing this last night, it honestly brought a tear to my eye
Hands Down
This is the first time I've heard the acoustic version. Wow. It's just so more emotional acoustically.
i dedicate this song to my cat, who passed on to a better life almost 4 years ago :'( RIP Junior, we all miss u my lil fatty cat

Olivia💖
this song really reminds me of mitch lucker and tears are everywhere
R.I.P Sophie Mackena Crane
When she says "I want them to know your name!!!!" Talk about fucking pain. That is beautiful.
Morgan, this is what I'll say this time. Death is terrifying, and it burns me that you had to go so soon. That should've been me, easily could have been so why wasn't it? You meant so much to so many people, so, just come back for a second so we know it'll be the last. Morgan, you're a fucking hero in my eyes, but you were left on this cliffhanger. I love you so much, even if we weren't quite best friends, we were still close. Please, please come back; even though I know it's impossible.
Rest in peace Adam. I miss you so much already. I love you
RIP Will. We love you so much
I really miss you. More and more every day.
there is a serious difference between the studio version and the acoustic version... for this song, using acoustic made it sound so personal... it is very fitting and it reaches towards different corners of the heart
R.I.P Skyler
A lot of appreciation for this comment :)
Last week, one of my friends died of Leukemia. Her name was Nicole. She was only 16.

I miss you Jamie... fifteen forever, sleep tight.
