Best Friends and Murderers

I used to share your burdens
We were kids of opposite dimensions
Take it from a kid who had a good life
Living in your world of perpetual night

I should not have cared less
I should have given more
You were my friend but I don’t know you anymore
I pushed you as far as to the dusty shelf

The regret I feel burns like nothing else
Now I’m a free man and you’re a killer
I never should have turned my back on you
While I am on the road, you’re doing time for murder
I never should have turned my back on you

The pain of failing you I will not erase
Never again will I ignore the weary
I won’t choose comfort over the suffering of anyone
Never again will I ignore the weary
It’s a cold, cold world until we light it up

Friend or foe I won’t turn my back again, no I can’t be perfect, but I will be available

Five minutes of undivided attention could save somebody’s life
Hear our hearts out
I should not have cared less
I should have given more

You were my friend, but I don’t know you anymore
I put you on the shelf
I regret it like nothing else
