He still had his pride, he'd tell me in time

Well this feeling inside kept eating at me

I was losing a friend, and I had to know why

When I heard the voice on the phone, I knew it was bad news

So I rushed to be by his side

And we said goodbye for the last time

I gently hugged him, and kissed him goodbye

He whispered, "I need your help, I need it now.

Give me the strength to go on."
