lyrics

There’s a bone in my head
And it spins every time that I think of you
But know, when you’re dead
I will still raise up a drink to you

You’re spending time in your bed
You ain’t been the same since you got back from Japan
You’re insane off of your meds
Somehow you think you’re better like that
Well, you do not want to know where the sad sound is coming from
I’m sitting by your room playing these songs so you can listen to them

Oh! Can’t you see what you’ve done to me?
Man, I’m not who I used to be
But even still, I am bound to you
And so, If you ever came back to me,
I would welcome you openly
Isn’t that what a friend should do?

I don’t want to lose a friend
I don’t want to lose a friend
I don’t want to lose a friend
We didn’t know how easy it would end

We grew up in my woods
Away from men, we could play as gods
When we crossed the top of the ridge
There was light on the hill and we saw it was good!
But you left me for two years in the time when I needed you most
And when you said the word I came running back like I’d seen a ghost

Oh! After all that I’ve done for you
You are foolish to stab me through
Can’t you see that you’re bound to me?
So, when I’m falling, you’re falling too
But I am honored to fall with you
Isn’t that how a friend should be?

(Chorus)
