I got the call in the morning

Eyes wide and mourning

The loss of life and a friend

It takes over breathing

I stood idle by

Pleading you not to die

Asking why

You left us by the roadside

Taking on

Your demons for too long

Resenting

The idea that you’re gone

I never thought that this be it

Late nights at Corky’s they’d cease to exist

This pain is growing like a cyst in my heart

Knowing that we’d always be apart

I stood idle by

Pleading you not to die

Asking why

You left us by the roadside

Taking on

Your demons for too long

Resenting

The idea that you’re gone

Time has crept up again

No longer a helping hand

Always helping others than myself

Your life is always what I need

I stood idle by

Pleading you not to die

Asking why

You left us by the roadside

Taking on

Your demons for too long

Resenting

The idea that you’re gone
