Best Friends

We were best friends
Playing in the yard
Going in the house to play with our cards
We always hung out until 8th grade
Than all of the sudden we began to fade
You hung out with people who drank and smoke
Tried everything but most of all coke
I didn't think you were like that,not that kind
If only you didn't you'd grow up and shine
That day when the news came through
Someone had died of an overdose i wondered who
When you weren't in English i got real scared
I ran to the office that's how much i cared
You were my best friend and i knew you were wrong
And because of drugs now you are gone
