5 Days Ahead My Best Friends lyrics

I'll try to live through this, please watch over me
You were always there for me
When I needed a shoulder to cry on
Childhood can be so cruel, thank God I had you

They say you should remember them the way they were
And never cry, but that's easier said than done
I tried but too many times I've seen people leave in a box
So I can't cry, I have to be strong

Days go by, I wish I could see you again
To lose a friend, the world's so unfair
Sometimes I think about what may have been
If that phone didn't ring

Would people have wept over me like I wept over you?

What would become of Mom and Dad to lose their only son
Would school even notice I was gone, I was gone? I am gone

Where are all my best friends?
They left me alone again I have no one to turn to
Struck down I never had a chance to say goodbye
I never said thank you

Who needed love? I had you
But now you've faded away
Like the pictures that hang on my walls
I remember you
