Amanda's Song, original song written for Amanda Collette

This song was written in loving memory of Amanda Grace Collette, a friend of mine that got shot and killed at my school on November 12, 2008. In this video, I am only singing it. However, I do have another video posted of my friend Melly and I singing it together two days after the shooting. The song was written pretty much right away. Melly helped me with the lyrics for the second verse.

Lost in so many emotions,
I never thought that you would slip away
right through my fingers.
It's such a big surprise
and I keep asking "why?"
I thought I had more time.

How am I supposed to go on
without you?
How am I supposed to remain strong
without you here?
How am I supposed to move on
without you?
How am I supposed to remain strong?
I miss you here.

Looking at where you once stood,
I do not feel that I did all the things,
everything I could.
I keep texting, hoping
you'll reply.
I'm not good at goodbyes.
This is not a goodbye.

How am I supposed to go on
without you?
How am I supposed to remain strong
without you here?
How am I supposed to move on
without you?
How am I supposed to remain strong?
I miss you here.

This is not a goodbye....

Do you go to Dillard? And does her cousin go to Dillard cause I went there last year and I think I might know which cousin you are talking about...actually, my friend Melissa Leiba and I wrote the lyrics to this song together the day it happened and I came up with the chords. The chords are C G D repeatedly if I remember correctly

Your song is right. Death is not final and it is never final. Amanda Grace Collette will comeback as someone else and a different name. Her body is gone but the soul is forever.
