lyrics

I had a friend
A friend since we were kids
And no matter what I did
He would always have my back

I had a friend
But hidden in the dark
Was an old and troubled heart
That in time would fall apart

Can we talk just one last time?
Heaven can wait just another while
But I know you've gotta go

And you weren't just the only one
Other families cried for their other sons
But I know you gotta go

Don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right
And oh there's nothing more that I can do for you

So don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right...

Now I'm staring
Down upon a grave
Where the man I could not save
Will never see the sky ahead

Oh my brother
You're half the world away
But you're with me everyday
(oh you're with me everyday)

Can we talk just one last time?
Heaven can wait just another while
But I know you've gotta go

And you weren't just the only one
Other families cried for their other sons
But I know gotta go

Don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right
And oh there's nothing more that I can do for you

So don't you say
That it's alright
'cause it's not right...
