I haven't thought about you for awhile That's something i'll admit And i don't recall the last chat we had Most of those don't really stick But i realize what you're up against Even if it doesn't show I've only just discovered Bruises never go And it's a strange affiliation we have As you may already know I know you spend a lot of time alone Deliberating things with god And i hope he throws a line sometime And points out all the things that you got But the longer you keep waiting And averting your eyes The more you dim the lights On what you leave behind I guess there's no avoiding the stuff He poured down our veins So now you've got me up at night And i hope you're making out alright If you'll give me a moment to catch my breath I know a friend is hard to find Is this something you've always known The bitterest pills are meant to swallow alone It's not that big a deal i guess Just brings us down with all the rest
