Bestest of Friends

Lyrics

Verse 1
At eighteen, I lost my dearest friend,
Cancer proved to be his cruel end.
We'd share secrets beneath the midnight sky,
As the precious years went drifting by.
Our strong bond now seems fading lore,
No one knew my heart's truth anymore.

Chorus
More years went by, your memory lingers still,
Now standing alone, I've lost my strong will.
With you gone, I lost my reason to believe,
That anyone would stay, that all wouldn't leave.
It was an honor to call you my friend,
Your bright life met such a bitter end.

Verse 2
Two decades passed, I learned humanity's inhumanity,
I built walls around my heart, understandably.
Then I met my second best friend,
She scaled the mountain I built to defend.
Someone broken in all the right ways,
Shining light on each other in our darkest days.
Then cancer again with its merciless might,
Stole her away into the endless night.

Bridge
Now without a hope for such a deep bond,
Those bright days have faded and gone.
I live without a tribe that understands me,
Adrift alone in this void of darkness I see.

Final Verse
Not fully alive, and not truly living,
Terrified to love, yet starved for its bidding.
I'm drowning silently in a sea of despair,
No longer do your happy sounds fill the air.
Just emptiness echoes in this hollow space,
As time begins to blur your familiar face.

Final Chorus
More years drifted by, your memory lingers still,
Standing alone, I've lost my strong will.
With you gone, I lost my reason to believe,
That anyone would stay, that all wouldn't leave.
Even though your bright life met such a dark end,
It was an honor to call you my bestest of friends.
