lyrics

Goodbye my friend
I hope you are well
I’m sorry our time has run out
There’s so many stories left to tell
About our battles, losses, and victories too
My tongue hurts with the words
I never said to you

You left us burning, yearning
And dying to know more
But you’ll take that with you too
I know it wasn’t your choice
This is unfortunate timing
It always is
This is unfortunate timing
And I can’t bear the thought of this

We put the dead man in the ground to keep him away
And now he’s gone, he’s gone, he’s gone for good
The earth will eat today

We put the dead man in the ground to keep him away
The shell of a man who walked the earth just the other day

We put the dead man in the ground to keep him away
Laid to rest his debts all his mistakes
His warmth and memories

We put the dead man in the ground to keep him away
But I still see his face

It seems the older I get the more that I lose my friends
Sent them to walk their own path and off they went
I hate myself for my mistakes, the words of hate
They were only mine to hear
So this is how I remember a friend held once so dear
