"Why I hate 8" (7-20-10)

You made the 8 block walk in record form
And couldn’t wait to tell me what was wrong
I thought with time I could help to lift your spirits
But 8 days later you were gone.

While the pain was there I had no idea
You were burdened by such a heavy load
I never thought the toughest person I knew would give up
No use running when you’re on the wrong road

I remember when you used to think
That it was beautiful whenever I gave too much
You said to me don’t you ever stop giving
You’ll never know all the lives you’ve touched

But now I think of your face in memory
Instead of warming up to the corners of your smile
I’ll never forget the last thing you told me
A life lived for another is what’s really worthwhile
