Chords:
Intro
Verse 1
I try to sleep, but my eyes are open
I can't think cause my heart is broken
And there's a bottle right next to me
I'll down a few drinks just to take the pain away
I wanna say all the things I need to say
I won't lie, I'll just tell them honestly
If God can take a friend away from me
Then I can say all I want and he won't do anything
Pre-chorus 1
My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak
I can't say nothing at all
Chorus 1
Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side
Interlude
Verse 2
I spend hours tryna make it through the day
I don't know if I'll ever be the same
It's hard enough when you're all alone
In the city that you love, now Atlanta's just a burial ground
Pre-chorus 2
My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak
I can't say nothing, nothing at all
It's hard to think when losing someone only make you wanna scream
And now that you're gone
Chorus 2
Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side
Bridge
All the stained pieces, I can't believe this
A mother shouldn't witness her son die at twenty-four
(Please don't know this is for the hopeless,
It's ripping me apart and I can't take it anymore)
I will hold my tongue for the rest of my life
I can't keep this up anymore
Chorus 3
Sleep well, my friend
There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side
By my side
By my side
By my side
Chorus 4
Sleep well, goodnight
You're something to remember
I wish that you were here by my side
