It's a dark day
It's obvious you've got nothing to say
You cut me out of your life
Like I was a disease
You said you loved me
And that you knew the beauty in me
But I know that actions speak louder than words
And yours scream at me

If you said, my friend we need to speak
I would see just why you're leaving me
If you'd just give me the time of day
I'd know
Why you must go

Well you're just like the others
Though you tell me you're not
But you just don't understand
What it is that we've got
Can't you see our friendship's being laid in the grave?
Give me your hand
Bring it back
If it's even worth saving

Why do you shun me?
Did I cause you pain mistakenly?
Has my trespass doomed us to lives lived apart?
Or is it just you
Do you protect the life you once knew
Sacrifice the new for the old
Kiss me goodbye

If you said, my friend we need to speak
I would see just why you're leaving me
If you'd just give me the time of day
I'd know
Why you must go

Well you're just like the others
Though you tell me you're not
But you just don't understand
What it is that we've got
Can't you see our friendship's being laid in the grave?
Give me your hand
Bring it back
If it's even worth saving

Is it even worth saving?
Please say that it's worth saving...
