I have a best friend... 
In the sandbox we used to play, 
We grew up with eachother, 
but things ended up this way 
 
I began to meet some new friends, 
they all seemed pretty nice, 
You told me they were the wrong crew, 
But I didn't take your advice 
 
I started smoking and drinking, 
sneaking out and skipping school, 
I never returned your phonecalls 
because I was just too cool 
 
I never told you the truth, 
I just had to lie, 
You told me I needed help 
And all I could say was why? 
 
I went to a party that night, 
And I got so messed up I couldn't talk, 
I tried to cross the street, 
but I could barely walk 
 
I heard a loud engine, 
and I saw a bright light, 
I then felt a great shove, 
and I looked to my right 
 
You'd been hit by a Semi, 
With all the blood I could see, 
You just pushed me out of the way 
And that's how it had to be 
 
A tear rolled down my face, 
I could tell that you were dead, 
I hugged your lifeless body 
and wished it was me instead 
 
I've been sober for 3 years, 
and I have many more to spend, 
I have my guardian angel, 
I have a best friend...
