I lost my friend to sadness
I was with him every day
We laughed and cried together
About the things we cannot change
I lost my friend to sadness
I lie here in his wake
All we are is all we have
Something I could not explain
I lost my friend to sadness
There was nothing I could do
How many times is too many times
To say it's not you
I lost my friend to sadness
He refused to see the end
How will things get better
If you quit while you're ahead
I lost my friend to sadness
Truly living is a chore
The choice to make the best of it
To suffer and endure
I lost my friend to sadness
There is nothing more to say
For I lost my friend to sadness
And I will miss him every day
