My Friend

You took a trip down to the place right by the sea

Stood by the border as your hair blew in the breeze

So many nights when only demons you could see

Jumped in the water so your demons could be free

Well you’re never gonna have your moment

And you’re never gonna fall in love

But I know you’ll be looking down from up above

Goodbye my friend

But this is not the end

You’re going to a better place now

You’re going to a better land

I said goodbye my friend

I know we can’t pretend

Even though I’m gonna miss you

I know I’m gonna see you again

Endless troubles fly like ghosts among the trees

Your weight’s so heavy, but not a thing that we could see

Your mind’s a shadow as you live off memories

But even the happiest run out eventually

When you’re feeling stone cold sober

And your mind is running wild

I feel I never really got to know ya

Goodbye my friend

But this is not the end

You’re going to a better place now

You’re going to a better land

I said goodbye my friend

I know we can’t pretend

Even though I’m gonna miss you

I know I’m gonna see you again

When you woke up upside down

And the world wouldn’t let you go

Was there nowhere left for you to turn?

Goodbye my friend

But this is not the end

You’re going to a better place now

You’re going to a better land

I said goodbye my friend

I know we can’t pretend

Even though I’m gonna miss you

I know I’m gonna see you again
