Hello - Destrophy

My friend lay wide awake at night

Too cold and tired to carry out the fight

We talked so much back then

When someone’s gone you remember everything

He called and told me something’s wrong

Somehow the wheels had all come off

He thought he’d call to say hello again

He said

I remember yesterday

The games we played and things that mattered

Never thought those days would end

I said

I’m glad you called me up today

I thought you called to say hello

Now I know, you were saying goodbye

I asked if he would be all right

Said don’t give up and sleep well, tonight

Come over here my friend

We’ll laugh just like we used to way back then

But still I knew something was wrong

The way he sounded as he talked

I said hold on until we meet again

I said

Remember yesterday

The games we played and things that mattered

You know those days will come again

He said

I’m glad I called you up today

I think I’ll come and say hello

Now I know you were saying goodbye

I waited days for my friend to call

But he had already left

Someday I’ll see him again

We’ll remember yesterday

The games we played and things that mattered

And how those days would end

I wish I could’ve made him stay

I should have never let him go

And I wish I had told him goodbye
