Your Suicide Was A Must

Well dearest friend that I have grown quite close to
In my eyes I’m seeing what I have been dreading this whole time
But I’m sorry if I have not the courage to say goodbye to you
Keep me in your heart, and forever you shall stay in mine

Boyfriend, play her the same slow song
Make sure she hears the words; make sure she doesn’t forget
Let her feel like there’s nothing wrong
You’re going to break her; and you know it

Friend, I noticed you were crying today
I didn’t say anything when I saw bloodstains on your sleeve
I know what he said to you; it’s what he’ll always say
And I’m sorry that he had to take his leave

Oh, I know when you wear that black sweater
I know that you’re hiding something from us
All of this makes you feel like you don’t matter
And your suicide, seems like a must

I’m wondering if you took Andrea serious yesterday
When she told you to just go drive a knife into your heart
Just because you got in her way
And I’m seeing it in your eyes; it’s tearing you apart

Yesterday was your birthday
And everyone forgot it, or maybe that’s how you remember it
Until when you came in from the hallway
The truth was, I would never forget

I heard that he has a new lover
And it hasn’t even been three days
And I know you’re wishing his arm were around you, not her
I hope you keep walking, no matter what he says

I heard about your mother
I showed sympathy for your family
And some ask why I even bother
And I say “because I see something in her, something he saw in me.”

I’m wondering if you hate me because I’m friends with him
But I can’t help that I never held back from telling him how I feel
So it made it so much easier to set aside the problem
And made sure our friendship could stay real

I hope you know that by tomorrow
This will all just be another forgotten memory
And I’ll continue you to show my sorrow
Your suicide was a must, and that’s the way it had to be
