There's people lining up
All trying to explain
And talk about your pain
As if they know a thing
I know they mean well
But I wish that they would leave
They wanna know if I have grieved
But I stopped listening
My friend, did you take the back door
When it got too bad
I wish you hadn't been so lonely
I wish you hadn't been so sad
If I had known on Sunday
That on Monday you'd be gone
I would have called you up and told you
That I would love you from now on
Keep it cool through the whole day
Until I get home
Feel like turning off my phone
Feel like going far away
Ain't a smile, it's a good fake
Hours pass me by
I should have taken the time
To tell you it's never too late
My friend, did you take the back door
When it got too bad
I wish you hadn't been so lonely
I wish you hadn't been so sad
If I had known on Sunday
That on Monday you'd be gone
I would have called you up and told you
That I would love you from now on
