From the day we met, I was never the same
You were the mascot at the football game
Big brown eyes in a Wildcat suit
Hugging your knees outside the classroom

Favorite child of a single mother
Loved you more than a boyfriend, more than a brother
The way you drove yourself to church every Sunday
We swore we'd make it out of this town one day

Then I called you a sinner
Ain't no sin bigger
And there ain't one damn thing wrong with you
Far as I can tell
No, there ain't no hell
Much worse than the one I put you through
I knew nothing about love, Landon

Well, you carried your cards close to your vest
And you buried your heart inside your chest
And you hid it from the ones that loved you best
'Cause you knew none of us could pass that test

And I called you a sinner
Ain't no sin bigger
And there ain't one damn thing wrong with you
Far as I can tell
No, there ain't no hell
Much worse than the one we put you through
What were we so afraid of? Landon
I was afraid of that word
Afraid of all I'd heard
Afraid of that phone call
I was afraid I never knew you at all

So I called you a sinner
Ain't no sin bigger
And there ain't one damn thing wrong with you
I know I can't make amends

But believe me, I'm still your friend
I know I owe you the truth
I miss you so much, Landon
Landon
