Always Be a Friend

So now I'll go on writing songs and making friends
 And try my hardest to be the best person I possibly can
 You showed me how to look into myself and see the problem
 And reminded me no matter who you are that we both got 'um
 Now I think of you each time I stop to talk to someone I don't know
 I can't get rid of you, I can't let go of something I can't hold
 I miss having the option to call you when I'm feeling down
 You always found a way to listen 'til you felt me through the phone
 Now I walk around acting like I've learnt to deal with it
 When I just want to sit with this so I can feel how real it is
 I don't want to let you down
 I hope I'm making you proud
 You thought me how to be myself but right now I just don't know how
 Can't seem to figure out exactly what I'm supposed to do
 Sometimes I cry until I can't
 Sometimes I laugh until I'm blue
 It's like you lived til you learned what it feels like to be dead
 And then you died so you could finally feel alive again
 You will always be my friend
 Forever ever be my friend
 This is just a new beginning
 Time will see us through again
 'Til the end, 'til it ends
 You will always be my friend
 This is just a new beginning
 Time will see us through again [x2]
 I find myself between feeling bad for what I lost
 And feeling grateful for the privilege of knowing you for so long
 "Kill The King" You told me, I asked you what it meant
 You said it means to feel with all your heart and die in your head
 So now I try but haven't figured out how to accept that I won't ever get to see you again until I'm dead
 Remember on the plane flying home from out west
 How we made a friendly bet of who could sell more CD's to our fans
 Even though I always knew you that would win every night without trying
 Now I'm faced with that meat I can't bite through
 I ask myself the question "I wonder what would Mike do"
 But I know what you would do
 You'd take your time and think it through and if it didn't come to you, you'd walk away and keep your cool
 And even though the memories are blowing in the wind
 Just know no matter what, You'll always have me as a friend...
