Best Friends and Murderers

I used to share your burdens

We were kids of opposite dimensions

Take it from a kid who had a good life

Living in your world of perpetual night

I should not have cared less

I should have given more

You were my friend but I don’t know you anymore

I pushed you as far as to the dusty shelf

The regret I feel burns like nothing else

Now I’m a free man and you’re a killer

I never should have turned my back on you

While I am on the road, you’re doing time for murder

I never should have turned my back on you

The pain of failing you I will not erase

Never again will I ignore the weary

I won’t choose comfort over the suffering of anyone

Never again will I ignore the weary

It’s a cold, cold world until we light it up

Friend or foe I won’t turn my back again, no I can’t be perfect, but I will be available

Five minutes of undivided attention could save somebody’s life

Hear our hearts out

I should not have cared less

I should have given more

You were my friend, but I don’t know you anymore

I put you on the shelf

I regret it like nothing else
