You Were My Friend, But Still...

lyrics

My memories of you still remain, I would never forget.
I could never forget,
I regret.
You were loved by everyone I know, you hated everyone you knew,
Could I have stopped you from doing it? I demand an answer.

Why did you leave me?
Why did you leave me alone?
What did I,
What did I do to deserve this?
The smell of flowers has occupied my mind,
That’s my only good memory.
You were so loved, you were so loved,
I hope you’re having the time of your life.

Are you awake? I can't sleep I can't sleep.
I woke up just to find that you were gone,
The dream is always the same, it’s annoying.
Suffocating was not the privilege, and neither were you.
Your love was the size of a rabbit hole.
Deep, long and very small, in other words nonsense.
I have no friends, I have no friends.
The truth is, I have no friends.
Nobody wants to know anything about my presence.
I have nobody, I am nobody.
Nobody to lose even if I had to choose, I would not choose you again.
As I opened the door, bright lights struck me,
and suddenly I realized I was alone with no one left in this world,
no one left to lose.

I had no one left to hurt.
What other way to bring an end to mankind then to repeat the story over and over again,
to the last breath.
Knock, knock, the door opens.
For the second time in my life I found myself devastated and weak,
old thoughts surrounded me and I knew what I would have to do to survive.
And it sure smelled good, like a field full of beautiful roses.
If I could I would pick every single one.
The terrible noises, the terrible noises. Why did you have to go?
I’m standing on the other side of the road with my fingers crossed and my eyes wide shut.
I just wanted to say goodbye, I wanted to tell you about the life we don’t have.

The life I no longer have.
It’s always the same,
It’s always the same way.
