• I've seen the world crumble
    Underneath your feet,
    I've seen you at your highs and lows,
    Through sunshine, rain and sleet.

    You've never been the same
    Since you heard the tragic news,
    A life that once sounded Pop and Rock
    Now only plays somber blues.

    I want to pull you from the ground,
    And turn you back the same,
    As when you were before she died,
    Before your mom's death came.

    But how to do it! I just don't know
    What help that I can give.
    How can I turn a life that's broken
    To one that's worthy to live?

    We're just not on the same page anymore.
    No longer friend to friend.
    It's like the friendship that we've forged
    Died with your mother's end.

    You've taken on some habits
    That I wish you didn't take,
    Those marks that run far down you arm
    Only razor blades make.

    If the old you could see yourself right now,
    I wonder what she'd say.
    But I highly doubt a dose of guilt
    Would take your pain away.

    I'm feeling very selfish,
    Wanting you to go back to how you were.
    Wanting back my friend
    Who now only knows her hurt.

    You may think things are fine between us,
    That nothing strange is going on.
    But I can feel our "strong" bond straining,
    That our friendship's almost gone.

    Oh please, just try to keep it together!
    Try to put out the fire lit.
    I don't think our friendship
    Can take another hit.

    I suppose that now I'll say goodbye,
    I know there's nothing you can do.
    Once your ready for selfish me,
    I think I'll be ready for broken you.

    With all apologies to my dearest friend,
    Who's seen more hardship than I hope I ever witness.
