Watching
the
dust
settle
on
the
books
you
left
behind.
[Chorus] Oh,
my
friend,
why
did
you
have
to
leave?
My
heart
is
breaking,
struggling
to
believe.
Everything
we
built
is
drifting
out
to
sea.
You
were
my
anchor,
but
now
you
are
just
a
ghost
to
me.
Oh,
my
friend,
why
did
you
have
to
leave?
My
heart
is
breaking,
struggling
to
believe.
Everything
we
built
is
drifting
out
to
sea.
You
were
my
anchor,
but
now
you
are
just
a
ghost
to
me.
[Verse 2] I
walked
to
the
corner
shop
where
we
used
to
meet.
Every
face
I
see
looks
like
you
on
the
street.
I
keep
hoping
for
a
phone
call
that
never
comes.
The
rhythm
of
my
heart
is
beating
like
broken
drums.
I
know
that
life
goes
on,
they
say
it
heals
the
pain.
But
how
do
I
start
over
when
I’
m
still
standing
in
the
rain?
You
were
the
music
in
my
life,
the
rhythm
and
the
flow.
Now
I
am
dancing
in
the
dark
with
nowhere
left
to
go.
[Chorus] Oh,
my
friend,
why
did
you
have
to
leave?
My
heart
is
breaking,
struggling
to
believe.
Everything
we
built
is
drifting
out
to
sea.
You
were
my
anchor,
but
now
you
are
just
a
ghost
to
me.
Oh,
my
friend,
why
did
you
have
to
leave?
My
heart
is
breaking,
struggling
to
believe.
Everything
we
built
is
drifting
out
to
sea.
You
were
my
anchor,
but
now
you
are
just
a
ghost
to
me.
[Bridge] I
search
for
answers
in
the
bottom
of
a
glass.
Watching
the
seasons
change,
watching
the
moments
pass.
They
say
the
truth
will
set
you
free,
but
this
truth
keeps
me
bound.
To
the
silence
of
the
night,
to
the
absence
of
the
sound.
Of
your
footsteps
in
the
hall,
of
your
hand
in
mine.
I’
m
reaching
out
for
something
that
I
know
I’
ll
never
find.
[Chorus] Oh,
my
friend,
why
did
you
have
to
leave?
My
heart
is
breaking,
struggling
to
believe.
Everything
we
built
is
drifting
out
to
sea.
You
were
my
anchor,
but
now
you
are
just
a
ghost
to
me.
Oh,
my
friend,
why
did
you
have
to
leave?
My
heart
is
breaking,
struggling
to
believe.
Everything
we
built
is
drifting
out
to
sea.
You
were
my
anchor,
but
now
you
are
just
a
ghost
to
me.
[Outro] Goodbye
is
the
hardest
word
I’
ve
ever
had
to
say.
I’
ll
carry
you
with
me
in
every
single
way.
Just
a
memory
now,
fading
in
the
light.
Sleep
well,
my
friend,
through
the
lonely
night. (
Fading
electric
guitar
solo,
soft,
soulful,
lingering)
