I heard from a friend That you're in a hospital bed I heard from a friend When they found you they thought you were dead I heard from a friend You had six grams in your pocket I heard from a friend Round your neck you were wearing a locket with a picture of me I heard from a friend That now you're awake and you're talking I heard from a friend That they got you up and you're walking I heard from a friend You asked when I'm coming to see you I heard from a friend That you couldn't remember the day I walked out of your door And I honestly can't say that I'm surprised And I honestly can't say I didn't try I heard from a friend You've gone into rehab, you're gonna get better I heard from a friend That whilst you were in there you wrote me a letter I heard from a friend You come out tomorrow and you want to see me You heard from a friend That I am not interested in being hurt once again And I honestly can't say that I'm surprised And you honestly can't think that I believed all your lies You heard from a friend That I never got your letter You heard from a friend A lie that I told them to make me feel better I heard from a friend That you want us together again I heard from a friend That you're gonna stay clean but we all know how that's gonna end And I honestly can't say that I'm surprised And I honestly can't say I didn't try And you honestly can't say that you're surprised And you honestly can't think that I believed all your lies I heard from a friend That you're in a hospital bed I heard from a friend When they found you they thought you were dead I heard from a friend That you're in a hospital bed I heard from a friend When they found you, you were so close to dead
