Goodbye

Sitting here, guitar in hand

Listening to the rain.

Of all the things I miss the most,

I wish I could miss the pain.

You never truly realize

What you have until it's gone.

You always could see through fake smiles;

The laughter you could spawn.

In a force of habit,

I have tried to hide the tears.

Missing you is hard to do;

I've known your for many years.

I never got to tell you

How much I really cared.

The day I got the message

I was highly unprepared.

You didn't even say goodbye;

You didn't think at all.

I couldn't stop to think a bit

Through the entire broken call.

It's now that I have realized

That you wanted drugs more than life.

I wish you would have shared your pain;

I could have helped you through the strife.

To hear that you had overdosed

Killed me deep within.

I couldn't even say goodbye

Neither could Tony or Twin.

Dude, I wish you'd said something,

To one of us, if not all.

We could have helped you through the mess,

We could have caught you in mid fall.

Even though you're gone,

We're still here for you.

Your family and friends are all a mess,

But we're standing tall and true.

Watch over us, big man;

Your little one the most.

You didn't even say goodbye,

 

You took the lethal dose.
