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
