Yet another one that appeared on a compilation. This one was originally released in late 2010. I had bands like Satanic Surfers and Lag Wagon in my mind when composing this.

Lyrics!

There was something I wanted to tell you
That’s why I called you on your cell
I let it ring but you did not answer
That’s how I knew something was wrong

I drove up to your place
And let myself in.
I’ll never forget the expression on your face

When I found you dead

CHORUS:
How could I have known
That this imitation of a life you led
Was nothing more than a show
Should I have known?

I thought we shared our secrets
I thought that we were best friends
But now it’s too late

Now that you are gone

Looking back on the years I spent with you
You never really opened up
You kept it all inside of you
Until this one day…

You left behind a note, it said:

“Look, I’m sorry, but I
just couldn’t handle the pressure anymore.

I took the easy out.”

CHORUS

Remembering the good times that we had
I know you’re never coming back no matter how I cry

And still I wonder why you didn’t say anything…
Not a word

CHORUS
