lyrics

My friend,
I never thought I'd be writing you this song
I never thought I'd have to say goodbye to you
A father's guilt and memories
Is what you've been reduced to

How could we have been so blind
How could we have missed all the signs

I would have done anything to keep you alive
And I'd give anything to bring you back to life

There are no words to describe waking up that night
And finding out my friend was gone
Seeing you lying there
Watching them take you away
I've never cried so hard

All that's left are photographs and visions I can't forget
And they've been calling about this borrowed time we've been living on
But I'm afraid I'll lose you again
I'll never get the chance to take back all those things I said
Your selfishness got the best of you
