The Last Time

The last time that I saw you

There was fire in your eyes.

I simply stood there dumbfounded

By what you said in your lies.

I’m sorry I didn’t believe you,

I was sure you couldn’t be right.

But I now know better,

And I wish we hadn’t fought that night.

You were my first friend

That ever died,

And countless are the times

For you that I’ve cried.

We’ll never be together;

I wish that weren’t true.

And there are so many of us

Who wish we’d never lost you.
