[Verse]

Well we were something let me tell you my friend

For all of the great times we had, it seems that has come to an end

There is no great in goodbye or awesome in a lie

All that's left is the emptiness that rages right on the inside

You were my wing and also best and right hand man

Now see where this has come to as the sun begins to set

Life goes on and on without you, there's no stopping timе

And it would be pointless for us to evеn try

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't ask my forgiveness, there's no need to justify

With the bridges by the river crumbling how will you come by?

[Chorus]

Tell me why are you never

Around when all comes crashing down

Burying me under this mess?

So tell me why won't you ever

Tell me something just about yourself

Locked away in your own secretness

So tell me why are you never

The friend that you once were to me

But crept away so silently

And in the middle of the night?

[Verse]

Yea go ahead and cancel meetings just before

When I was about to go and knock on your front door

You don't have to worry that I'll bother you again

Your toxic way to fail appointments is what gets me mad my friend

Acting all high and mighty in your tower of ivory

Yet you hold no right to wear that crown so don't come after me

I hope the time will get some reason into you

So when you're back on solid ground our friendship can continue

[Pre-Chorus]

You'll have my forgiveness, you don't need to justify

If we were to meet again it won't be our last goodbye

[Chorus]

Tell me why are you never

Around when all comes crashing down

Burying me under this mess?

So tell me why won't you ever

Tell me something just about yourself

Locked away in your own secretness

So tell me why are you never

The friend that you once were to me

But crept away so silently

And in the middle of the night?

[Bridge]

When in the darkest hours the demons come out

You can call on me brother

And we'll together be strong

If I ever feel lonely I wish you were by my side

Cuz I can call on you brother and we'll forever together be strong

[Chorus]

Tell me why are you never

Around when all comes crashing down

Burying me under this mess?

Tell me why won't you ever

Tell me something just about yourself

Locked away in your own secretness

So tell me why are you never

The friend that you once were to me

But crept away so silently

And in the middle of the night?
