Standstill

Good-bye my friend.
It seems like yesterday.
The smiles were all around,
and nothing was out of place.

Good-bye my friend.
We took the time to say,
"It's all good now, it's all cool.",
But then, you went away.

    And it feels like the world is standing still.
    And we scream as we take this bitter pill.
  
And my friend...
The last time was the last time
to see you smile again,
and I can't believe it.

And my friend...
It's so hard to watch,
but it's even harder to turn away,
away from everything.

    And it seems like the world is standing still.
    And we scream as we take this bitter pill.
     
And I know there's a bright light somewhere.
Maybe someday, I will meet you there.
But, until that day, may the memories stay dear.

And I know that the tears are flowing,
but I won't cry because you're going.
I'd rather smile because you were here.
         
    And it seems like the world is standing still.
    And we scream as we take this bitter pill.
