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
