Was this the best way for me to hear the news
My dear, my friend
I wish you called to tell me you are leaving town
My dear, my friend
They might hate you for that but I understand
My dear, my friend
When those walls close we all want to escape
My dear, my friend
I wish I knew that you were lonely
Those smiling eyes they never told me
That you would leave without a sign or goodbye
My dear, my friend
Did you think bout the mountains and the lakes
My dear, my friend
Do you remember us as kids who weren't scared
My dear, my friend
I wish I saw you just to grab your little hand
My dear, my friend
I wish I stopped you from not seeing you again
My dear, my friend
I wish I knew that you were lonely
Those smiling eyes they never told me
That you would leave without a sign or goodbye
My dear my friend
My dear my friend
My dear my friend
My dear my friend
