Friends, Don't Leave Me

friends don't leave me like these words
as they hit me and slowly back away
as I chase the bus with tears in my eyes
as I struggle in the strong wind
just trying to get home
we're all just trying to get home

friends don't leave me like these breaths
as they slip past my lips
as I cling to the day
as we huddle around the fire
just trying to get home
we're all just trying to get home

friends don't leave me like she did
as I sat in silence
as I gathered all her things
as I took a walk with no direction in mind
just trying to get home
we're all just trying to get home

friends don't leave me like the tears
as they slide down my face
as they drop onto the page
as the ink runs and I run
just trying to get home
we're all just trying to get home

Wherever I go my friends always in sight.
I sit with a bottle and lost friends tonight.
I reflect on bridges burned wishing I could cross back.
I have all the love in the world for those who've got my back.
I know i'm not always so easy to deal with
But friends don't leave me, I need you.

Heard something the other day.
When you lose someone in life.
A part of you goes away.
And resides in the sky like a sun ray.
So friends just let me be that light.
As we all fight.
We all fucking fight.
To get home tonight.
