When you smiled and said


When you smiled and said you were fine

I saw behind your lie

I've known you for too long

I know when something's wrong

I regret that I left

That I didn't help

I hate that we went seperate ways

I know that if I had stayed

I could've kept you from that sinful grave

But now you're cold

And i'm all alone

I know how you feel

Everything suddenly becomes too real

Life showers it's hardest blows

As soon as one thing keeps you low

And it's hard to return to the happy person you were

Before

when you were sure

That you were going to make it

Sure that you'd stick around

No idea you'd arrive early to the ground

I'm sorry that I left you on your own

My heart is now a vacant home

reserved for you is the room I keep locked

Until I see you again

Know that I WILL NOT

Let the small things get the best of me

I will make something of myself for me and you

I will carry on

When nights are long

And days are bland

When my soul is blue

Cause I know someday I'll get to hold your hand again

I love you dearly friend.
