we met each other when we were just kids
we were brought together by the music
how could we have known it but I think we did
I saw a future and you were in it
it was something in the way that you spoke
I knew your soul and you knew mine
and we'd complete each other in time
it was a cold december night when you asked me to stop by
so I gathered my coat and drove
in the dim of Christmas lights I sat on your bed
as you told me I was the only one you loved
and you held my hand
and you told me your were scared
but you weren't exactly sure what of
and I pulled you near
and reassured you
that you would be taken care of
on those long sleepless nights we would walk to the shore
the smoke from you cigarette rose to the stars
and we talked about our demons and how they wouldn't let us go
and discovered how similar we really are
and I hoped things would stay
you were the only one
who understood the darkness I came from
and with a soothing voice
you would sing me songs
and brought back the light that I had lost
all my friends were talking saying keep up your guard
he's had a rough history and that's a fact
but I covered my ears I sang your praises you were a different man
and what was in the past was in the past
everyone said you would change as you took to the road
but I thought different ya I stood up for you
cos' I believed in the words that you spoke
but low and behold
they're telling me I was told
now I realize what a fool I was
there were no letters read
there were no works exchanged
when you left I guess you were gone, gone for...
