[hometext] => About my best friend and how I lost him
[bodytext] => Another Good Man Down I tried my best, did everything I could There were times when I thought I had gotten through He was my best friend, but that didn’t matter anymore What mattered were the opinions of others He wasn’t too popular I guess that bothered him But he had true friends, friends that cared about him But he threw all of that away, for what False people, and something you can buy from anyone I knew this happened to people all the time I never thought it would happen to my best friend I never knew I would lose him…to drugs To something that useless and destructive I thought he was smarter, maybe he was Maybe he wanted to, maybe he just didn’t care But that didn’t stop me from caring, from trying I had to keep trying, but I didn’t know it would be in vain Maybe I didn’t try everything, but what else is there I cannot control his life, only hope he does what’s right But he didn’t, he was tripped, fell, and continues to fall I tried to be his friend still, but it was all too much He had become only a shell of what he was, what he could have been I cannot be around him, but I’ll be there for him Drugs have claimed another, another good man down.
