Paint By Numbers Friends
So this is the way we say
Thank you for staying so
Close to my side for all these years
I've watched you slip as we grow old
And the walls are stained
With memories to each his own
My favorite is the time I held you
off the edge then let go
Don't close your eyes
I'll be there when you sleep
Don't close your eyes and everything will be just fine
Actions have spoken loud
Words have begun to fail
You never gave a thought to help
so help yourself, I know you will
And you're very proud
I envy your seasoned skill
A scratch on the surface seems so small
but take a look what's revealed
Just close your eyes and I will make everything alright
You carry disease, I carry the only remedy
Once you ingest, some side effects are permanent
This is how they found you
The same way that I left you
Your body holds the evidence
The obvious is put on display again
So this is the way we say
