The Friend I Should Have Been

one moment gone
a chance I had
to tell you the truth
now it's too late
there's no turning back
from this grave
that surrounds you
I wish I was brave
I wish I was not afraid
of being rejected
for standing up
for what is real
all those times
I had chances
all those times
I wish I could get back
now it's too late for me to be
the friend I'm suppost to be
the friend I should have been
I wish I could go back
I wish I told you the truth
he bled and died for you
I wish I was a better friend
