Ballad For Dead Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How are you feelin'?
Do you feel okay?
'Cause I don't
It keeps me reelin'
Will I ever be the same?
No, I won't
It's a cold day in a cruel world
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself?
Right now, well, I could use a stiff drink
To kill the pain that's deep inside my bones
Have you been dreamin'?
I don't dream at all
I have nightmares
Memories careenin'
Have you come to kill what's left
Of my smile?
There's no vacancy in paradise
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself?
Right now, well, I could use a stiff drink
Kill the pain that's deep inside my bones
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself
I really wished I could have saved you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I really wished I could have saved you
I really wished I could have saved you
I really wished I could have saved you
I really wished I could have saved you
