lyrics

the first time that a friend died I didn't know what to say
the second time it happened I learned not to say a thing
the third time I found out saying nothing really hurts
the fourth time, saying anything can sometimes be so much worse

I gave up on trying harder and only got real sad
I tried staying silent but I still got so goddamn mad
went away for a while when I didn't feel so bad
being away from it all with friends made me so glad

sure I drink a lot but I don't drink to forget
I don't drink to numb the feelings inside my head
i don't want to run away from all that instead
I want to run away with someone and not where we're headed at all
where we're headed at all
where we're headed at all

the first time that a friend died I was speechless enough
my first time with a broken heart made me a little more tough
but I still want all that peace, love, happiness, and stuff
a broken heart can never ever ever ever ever ever ever get enough

I want to see my mother and I want to see my dad
I want to see my sister cuz I've always thought she's so rad
I love my family and I love my friends
I love my enemies and all the hate mail they send

so I hope that you remember when you go to bed
all of your loved ones, living and dead
and all of the times you've spent with them
all of the lovely times you've spent with them
