Goodbye


You promised me a truth, but you told me a lie

How can you do that more than twice?

You promised me once and you promised again

But that was back then

 

Now you're gone and I don't know why

You didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye

I saw the foam drip from your mouth to the floor

And the pills from the store

 

I should have kept watch with a better eye

Maybe you would still be here by my side.

We used to laugh back then

But I don't know what changed from then and now

 

I can't see clearly

With the tears coming out of my eyes

Streaming down my face

And landing on your grave

 

Sorry I don't know what to say

Clearly you wanted it this way

Leaving me here all alone

Damn I sound selfish now

But you were all I cared about

 

But one thing comes to mind

You were my best friend

And now I have to say goodbye
