Mourning

[01:05.84] Friendship is a word
[01:07.85] I would never use lightly
[01:11.20] You never understood
[01:14.02] What it means to me
[01:17.64] But I was foolish and lonely
[01:21.40] So I closed my eyes, chose not to see
[01:28.20]
[01:32.74] The five stages of mourning
[01:36.72] Well, they do not quite apply
[01:42.77] For the stage of denial
[01:46.81] I've been living that the entire time
[01:53.40]
[02:22.03] To you a friend is just some "buddy"
[02:27.32] With whom to hang out, get drunk and cheer
[02:33.34] The river of your affection
[02:36.31] Is only as wide as a can of beer
[02:46.84] The five stages of mourning
[02:52.48] Well, they do not quite apply
[02:57.60] I have traded my anger for sadness
[03:03.08] And I am sad now all the time
[03:09.43]
[03:40.68] Against all better judgment
[03:45.65] I was hoping for greater things to come
[03:51.64] But in the end it was all disappointing
[03:55.09] What can you expect from a simple man
[04:06.84] The five stages of mourning
[04:10.81] Well, they do not quite apply
[04:16.29] There is nothing here to bargain for
[04:21.06] The illusion of you, it had to die
[04:27.50]
[06:06.32] To bury an empty coffin
[06:12.22] Is the hardest way to say goodbye
[06:18.14] It's quite a fitting picture though
[06:22.18] For your friendship it was hollow inside
[06:30.14] The five stages of mourning
[06:37.38] Well, they do not quite apply
[06:43.34] For the stage of denial
[06:47.54] I've been living that the entire time
