When I saw him last |
|
He had that look in his eyes |
|
I said, do you need to talk? |
|
He said, no. |
|
So I called him up, asked him again and I waited a while - |
|
He began to speak, then he started to cry |
|
You know some things are best left unspoken |
|
And some things just never work out |
|
And sometimes, seems you try and you try and whatever you do |
|
Theres a fix that youre in, and you just cant get out |
|
He said, i need your help, I need it now |
|
Give me the strength to go on |
|
Though I didnt know what |
|
I knew that something was wrong |
|
But he still had his pride |
|
Hed tell me in time |
|
Well this feeling inside |
|
Kept eating at me |
|
I was losing a friend, and I had to know why |
|
When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news |
|
So I rushed to be by his side |
|
And we said goodbye for the last time |
|
I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye |
|
He whispered, i need your help, I need it now |
|
Give me the strength to go on. |
|
We were always laughing |
|
I just remember laughing, mama |
|
We were always laughing |
|
Oh I need your help, I need it now |
|
Give me the strength to go on |
|
Though as time goes by, and it all becomes clear |
|
We can see the deceit, we see the lies |
|
So I asked myself, over and over, and over again |
|
What did they know? what did they hide? |
|
Fools, leading the innocent blindly |
|
Fools, turning away |
|
And I know that |
|
When I think of my friend with that look in his eyes |
|
And if they told the truth, he might be here today |
|
I need your help, I need it now |
|
Just give me the strength to go on, on |
|
I remember the laughing |
|
We were always laughing |
|
Oh no - its just strength we need now |
|
Just the strength to go on... |
