My best friend is gonna die, we just got the news today.
I can't say that I'm surprised, we knew he was on his way.
Tears that have been on ice have thawed and roll down my face, and the only thing I can say..."I hate this."
So close for fifteen years, I love you with all my heart.
You have to know that now, and I hope you always did.
'Cause there were times I was away, I hope that never hurt.
But for your two remaining weeks...I won't leave.
There's a shaking in my voice that tells of severity.
So I'll brace myself and wait for this awful thing, one unsuspecting day, to arrive then be on its way.
And the wreckage left in the wake...is me.
I'll never ask for anything more if you'd only live. I know it's part of life but it's one part I'd surely give away without a second thought; a way to never miss.
I've lost love before but swore it never hurt like this.
And I'm not sure if I'm ever gonna see your face again
and if I will...when?
