One flame, burning down
One cry, that made no sound
If I had known, how far you'd go
I would have run to find you
And hold you
And pull you fr-om the fl-ames

~Chorus~
My love for you is, breakin' in
To steal my pain and you're cashin' it in
Your world broke down and, cut you through
I close my eyes and I whisper a prayer for y-ou

My good friend

How l-ong did you feel confused
Trying to find just one piece of you
I should have seen, those empty eyes
The life inside you fading, away and
And pulled you from the fl-ames

~Chorus~

And th-ough I miss you now (miss you n-ow)
If I could see your face (see your
f-ace)
If I could speak one word to y-ou
Why
Wh-y
My good friend

It looked so bright outs-ide

Love for you is, breakin' in
To steal my pain and you're cashin' it in
Your world broke down and, left you cold
I close my eyes and I whisper a prayer
My love for you is, breakin' in
To steal my pain and you're cashin' it in
The world broke down and, cut you through
I close my eyes and I whisper
goodb-ye to y-ou
And so I say goodbye
My good friend
