lyrics

He was a friend of mine
It's true to say, we can't deny our feelings
We say things and we'd mean it
That's who we are

But it seems you failed to grasp
When I showed you that photograph, it was clear
But you didn't see her, with another

You changed your behaviour
You’re drinking more, you’re in danger of drowning
Your judgement is clouded
You don't hear me talking
Do you

I know it hurt you so when you found out that she'd gone
It hurts me also when I ask you to move on

I know it's hard to take
but I believe your heart would break wide open
The winds of change have spoken
Feel it blowing’

But through this wilderness
You failed to make any progress to further,
the light inside you flickers
into darkness

And now that you’re in therapy
And they tell you and you tell me your healing
A process called grieving
that will make you better

Everything you've ever found you now say that you've lost
Get a grip of your mind my friend I beg you to move on

How fast the seasons change
from summers joy to winters pain
Yes it's over
there's nothing to recover, anymore

Reminds me of this land of ours
That we love like our mother but we fail stop this disaster
She's dying of cancer
Feel her sorrow

Remember when we were younger and our worlds had just begun
Hold on to those memories they might be all you've got
