Use A Friend

Hey man, it's been a long time, how you been?
And what's up with that cancer growing under your skin?
It's troubling me you just took your shit and went away
I recall it crystal clear like yesterday
The weather was cold, you didn't want us to see you suffer
Well, that's what I was told, sorry, I don't think it's bald
That you left me on my own dog, I don't even know
Maybe if I'd been different then you wouldn't have to go
Well, I've been in the zone, grinding, I've been doing fine
Been on a tour to europe, lots of goodies down the line
You know me, I'm not the type of guy to whine
But I've been slowly dying dog, on the inside I'm dying
Why, they tell me to look alive, I don't really feel alive
Barely breathing with a lump in my throat, how could you deal with five?!
Hate to kill the vibe, but lately I've been feeling low
I'll take the leash, it's time for one last walk, lets go
I could really use a friend
I could really use a friend, some one to stand with me 'till the very end
I could really use a friend
I could really use a friend, yeah
I miss you dog, you should come visit
Moved to a new place, man, even got a bar in it
Thought things would change if I moved to a different town
Guess you don't know what you got until you put it in the ground
I've been living my life in regret
I never spared time for you, is that the reason you left?
You could bark, lord, I'm sorrry there was nothing we could do to get you well
To see you becoming a shell of yourself, is living hell
Hell, I moved in with a wonderful woman
A dog, sometimes I feel like I know what I'm doing
I got your name tatted on my arm, you gotta see it
But you're gone godamnit I can't believe it I'm so alone!
I hate you for leaving me!
Hate everyone else for taking it in so easily
It's killing me! I'm sorry that I had to get so mad
Just one last time, come here dog, let me pet your head!
I could really use a friend
I could really use a friend, some one to stand with me 'till the very end
I could really use a friend
I could really use a friend
Right, now!
Right, now!
Right, now!
Right, now!
Right now!
Shit
What a day
What a life
What a time to be
Every bark I hear, throws me back into the dark
I don't want to live it, not like that
Not without you
Somebody get me out of here
Where am I?
I don't want to be like this!
Why does it hurt so much?
Whats going on?!
Who turned off the lights?
