You Should've Lived

[Verse 1]
I relive that day
Every second of that moment
Why did it play out that way
How could I have changed that event
I see that sand, that smoke
Every night when I close my eyes
I still see you fall
Like it happened just today
[Chorus]
Why did I come home?
Why did you die?
I hear your name in every
Flag that flies
It should've been me
Yeah, I swear sometimes
You should've lived
I should've stayed behind
Tell me, brother
Why did I come home alive?
[Verse 2]
I sit in the dark each night
Deaf to the world around me
I stare at this photo
Two kids frozen in time
Surrounded in desert sand 
Believing we were invincible 
You laughed, said "you first"
When we boarded that flight
I still hear that laugh
In the echoes of the night
[Chorus]
Why did I come home?
Why did you die?
I hear your name in every
Flag that flies
It should've been me
Yeah, I swear sometimes
You should've lived
I should've stayed behind
Tell me, brother
Why did I come home alive?
[Bridge]
I wear your watch
Though it stopped that day
Still I tap the glass
Like it might start up again 
Bring you back from the grave
Put me there instead
You stood where I should've 
Why did things go that way
[Chorus]
Why did I come home?
Why did you die?
I hear your name in every
Flag that flies
It should've been me
God, I scream inside
You should've lived
I should've said goodbye
So I carry you
In every step of mine
But I still ask
Why did I come home alive?
