I was hurt today
It happened the usual way
I had a few laughs with an old friend

Until the personality I knew came to an end

So now I'm stuck in the dark and I can't escape
As I hide in my shadow of a cape
The face I once knew phases away,
and I feel I can't go on through the rest of the day.

The answer lies in front of my sight
but in my way is a wall I'm trying to fight
The wall is guilt, sorrow and strife
but the answer is a friend I'll never let go for the rest of my life

That answer is inches from my fingers
but I have to let go of the question that lingers
“Do I blame myself for what has been done?”
“Or is it a problem that can't be undone?”

A cheat is what I need to get through this stone
but where do I find it, for I'm all alone?
A cheat that is strong with fairness in it's eye
is what I must find to make this memory die

I was hurt today
It happened the usual way
I had a few laughs with an old friend
until the personality I knew came to an end.
