Did you ever feel how I feel
Writing these words down now
Don't have the courage to

Come out and say what's wrong
I'll be brave for you


I used to think you understood
Exactly what I meant
Sitting out on your back porch

A cold drink in our hands

We talked about your boyfriend,

My parents and our band
I start to cry
Responding, you reach out to take my hand


Gonna return the favour
It's the best thing I can do

I'll tell your story to them all
So they won't end up like you


No matter what you believed
There was no one out to hurt you
How did our collective grief

Become nothing but your loss
Closed down you couldn't see
Our hands outstretched to help you

The faces of your friends forgotten
The faces of your true friends lost


We talked about your boyfriend,
My parents and our band
You start to cry

Responding, I reach out to take your hand

I'm gonna return the favour

It's the best thing I can do
I'll tell your story to them all
So they won't end up like you


No matter what you believed
There was no one out to hurt you

How did our collective grief
Become nothing but your loss
