I am sick, my friend is sicker
I want to help her get better,
But what can I say to take the pain away?
It is obvious that I do not know the cure
But they are dying and I need an answer
What can I do but pretend I know
I try to look up answers
But it all is the same and none of it works
Is there a cure for the sickness
That forever plagues our minds
All I can do Is watch them get worse
Watch them get worse and get scared
Of the one phone call
that I have always been dreading
Where I learn that they are gone
And there was nothing they could do
But I could have done something
Don’t know what it could be
But I could have done it
