Poignant lyrics of Taken Away

Here’s how Liam’s friends have remembered him:

We know we can’t see you and we’re not OK, We all love you so much and this is hard to say, So I’ll just rap it to the best of my ability, We bought you a star but you deserved a galaxy, You might be gone from our lives but never from our hearts, We fell apart when you left and now we have to restart. Can’t express in words so we’ll express it in a song, You didn’t realise how great you love something until it’s gone. People come and go but the memories stay, And we all lost a bit of our souls that day. We never saw you without a smile on your face, In our minds and our hearts you will never be replaced. I know I can’t see you now, But we’ll live for the day, You were taken away, you were taken away You had so many times before you left. So we miss you Liam, I’ll admit you left a dent in my life, And I wish and remember the last time we talked and I remember to the time when you couldn’t walk. Thinking of these memories just makes me laugh. It’s hard to let go of the past but I’ll remember the good times always. Your memory lives on until the end of all days. But your memory stays, but your memory stays. I know I can’t see you now, But we’ll live for the day, You were taken away, you were taken away. I miss you more than I can say. It wasn’t your time to be taken away. Taken away too soon which was a nightmare. Why did it have to happen? Just want to see you smile here. Even if you cry, even if you laugh, want to see you one more time. Unbelievable, you were unforgettable. Everybody misses you terrible. We love you and we will always be inseparable. Hopefully you’re watching over us from above. Have to say it again, But I miss you so much.
