I have lost my best friend
In the midst of battle, when I needed him the most
I have lost my best friend
And his presence is as if he were a ghost

I miss the time we've spent together
Minutes turned to hours, now seem wasted
I miss the time we've spent together
The sweetness of love that I had once tasted

"Why have you deserted me?"
Words of which I wish to scream
"Why have you deserted me?"
I hear them echoing in every dream

He tries to avoid me, I see it in his behavior
Hurried footsteps, hushed conversations
He tries to avoid me, I see it in his behavior
Just about the lowest form of degradation

Blame my mother for why you hate me
As she blames love for her foul actions
Blame my mother for why you hate me
And act as if our friendship had never happened

I lost my best friend to the war of life
Slashing and killing everything worth while
I lost my best friend to the war of life
Separating us for miles

I wish I had never met him, all of a sudden
I don't like this bitter taste on my tongue
I wish I had never met him, all of a sudden
Knocking the air straight from my lungs

Sitting here, sitting there, fighting back tears
Remembering times when I would laugh oft
Sitting here, sitting there, fighting back tears
Thinking about the best friend that I have lost
