Lyrics:
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide 'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will you know I will
Ex girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
Chorus:
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
chorus
Imagine me tauhgt by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give your love
No matter what she said
chorus
-----
