Based on Self-made Original Guitar Impro/Record (cfr. Lyrics). Lyrics Copyright @Firefly X *** I knew a guy... He was my best friend. Years had passed us by... And I never realized. There are things... We don't talk about. Until that late evening... We had been sitting... For so long. "It was an ordinary day", "The first of many..." "I said yes, once" "Out of curiosity" "And he started..." "And he repeated..." "... you see... " "We were kids... so ignorant..." "But he never said sorry." "No... He never said sorry !!" When pride Forbids to speak ! When love Forbids to speak ! When it eats you alive, But you remain silent. He was my best friend But I didn't understand. Nothing was as it seemed. If only you had told me. It should never have been. I stood there listening, I couldn't stop watching. Something deep in his eyes, As if the moon and the sea had crossed paths. A burden he carried alone, Not willing to tear apart What felt like home. Yet... There are things we carry That we cannot bury. When shame Forbids to speak ! When guilt Forbids to speak ! When it eats you alive, ALIVE. ALIVE. Blind to the pain Around us, Every day, "I thought:" "Mom.... Dad... You...'" "anyone..." "Would have noticed..." A wound to the soul That hollows someone out !! But... "There's a lesson" "In everything", He said. "Mine was forgiveness". And he smiled.... Yeah, he smiled... Hiding the tears inside. When pride Forbids to speak ! When love Forbids to speak ! When it eats you alive... But you remain silent. He was my best friend But I didn't understand. Nothing was as it seemed. If only you had told me. It wasn’t meant to be. There are things... We should talk about... While there's still time.
