Our Friend Departs

Lyrics

As we watched, the planet did split And he turned his back on us, said no goodbyes We watched him walk into the sunrise And this is not the end that we wanted Though we could see this coming a mile away It still pains me to this day And we would never be like that We hold together and break our bonds for no one No matter how hard it is to see ourselves Collapsing in and breaking apart To know that this is happening Could not break our spirits at all Though we know what must become of us It was the choice that he made He said it would make him happy this way But I can't seem to forgive him No matter how much I may know that he's right And I follow through if only to know If this is the road I'd be better to go But I pull myself back, it's better to suffer here Than to learn that we might've been wrong Things ain't been so hot around here In the absence of our friend I would like to say that we've all forgiven him Though I know only some of us did I had a dream that we were making up And we were all together again And he told us the cause of his anger And all the things that we did not give That all he really wanted was someone to talk to Someone to rely on Someone to confide in when the times got hard We weren't there, he said And someone to convince him that things would be okay Even though we all knew what was coming to us in the end And someone to play pretend with and act like life was good Someone who would know and who would act Like he was ever really there at all And I woke up in anguish Because the truth is That he's never going to get it
