Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sad I had to see you
But I don't and I won't and I will
To think I was just like you
All alone skin to bone, skin to bone
[Verse 2]
And it hurts me
That you could be the one that deserved this
Even more
You stayed in the same dark place that I adore
But you stayed for more
I guess that's what happens to the best of us
The best of us
[Verse 3]
I hope to come and see you
When your state's doing great, doing great
A part of me feels for you
That I'm doing alright and guess I've been feeling fine
[Verse 4]
But it hurts me
That you could be the one that deserved this
Even more
That you stayed in the same dark place that I adore
But you stayed for more
I guess that's what happens to the best of us
The best of us
[Verse 5]
I never want to think twice
With what could have been your life
[Verse 6]
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
[Verse 7]
And it hurts me
That you could be the one that deserved this
Even more
That you stayed in the same dark place that I adore
But you stayed for more
I guess that's what happens to the best of us
The best of us
[Verse 8]
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
