• Who is it I call my 'friend'?
    standing there; across the bend.
    he lies, he fakes, everyday.
    and i sit and fade away

    Wishes and hoping; useless.
    he turns down the awful path
    of those drugs and abusing
    but i still sit here hoping

    He skips school; he doesn't care
    and i stand waiting for him there.
    drugs will kill him one morning
    but I still sit here hoping.

    Now gone from us forever
    an overdose on cocaine.
    Me, what did I do for him?
    I only sat there hoping.

    Who was it I called my "friend"
    no longer there at the bend.
    he has gone, and I'm insane
    Now I sit and fade away.
