[Verse 1]
You were in my thoughts, you were in my dreams,
I was too caught up trying to work on my self-esteem.
Putting my needs before yours,
Hiding behind closed doors.
Now that door is closed forever and ever;
I'll never see you again.
I'm just so thankful you had the rest of the family and your friends.

And I can't pretend I forgive myself,
For my selfish choice to focus on my mental health.
Should have put it aside,
I should have been at your side, I should have BEEN at your side.
I wish I could turn back time,
And I wish I could take it back.
How I wish I turn back time,
Oh how I wish I could take it back.

[Pre-chorus]
This track's for you but it's not enough;
It can't make up for that lack of love.
I'm so torn up, I'm so corrupt, my heart erupts,
To have lost you so abruptly,
To know you'll never grow up.
It tears me up.

And this track's for you but it's not enough,
It'll NEVER make up for that lack of love.
I'm so torn up, I'm so corrupt, my heart erupts,
To have lost you so abruptly,
To know you'll never finish growing up.
It's tearing me up.

[Chorus] x4
I love you Ruby Jean,
These words can't express what you mean to me.
I saw the light in your eyes;
You are the Light of my Life.

[Verse 2/bridge]
Please believe the promise that I've made,
to Mum and Ade and Jade,
and Abbey and Mackenzie and Illy and Kealy;
I'll be there with them grieving,
I'll be there with them feeling,
I'll be there with every ounce of my being.
Please don't stop believing in me.

And I can't pretend I forgive myself,
For my selfish choice to focus on my mental health.
Should have put it aside,
I should have been at your side, I should have BEEN at your side.
I wish I could turn back time,
And I wish I could take it back.
How I wish I turn back time,
Oh how I wish I could take it back.

[pre-chorus]

[Chorus] x4

[outro]
I love you Ruby Jean
I love you Ruby Jean
We love you Ruby Jean
Oh how we love you Ruby Jean
