Lyrics
How?
Could you believe me next time
I call to say we can find you some way to get even
For too long you've seen yourself as someone who can make
This world a better place by leaving
Now I won't get another chance it's safe to say
But while we're all here
With you at peace before us
I guess I should say goodbye
You've found a little truth in a lie
Could you remember this?
From where you're sitting now
I hope you're looking down and forgiving yourself
I'll need a good long time to get around to it
And after you I've got to forgive myself
The world of medication isn't what did you in
But if you were still here
You'd have someone to blame
Before you said goodbye
I hope you finally got yourself high
But how?
Could you sleep and could you dream
From what I saw, you never seemed to wind down
Now you have, and as we sing to you
Could you tell me is everything through?
Are you fine now?
Now you won't get another chance it's safe to say
But while we're all here
With you at peace before us
I guess we should say goodbye
You've found a little truth in a lie
I hope you found enough to get high
But how could you?
