Ballad For Dead Friends Lyrics

How are you feelin'
Do you feel okay
'Cause I don't

It keeps me reelin'
Will I ever be the same
No I won't

It's a cold day in a cruel world
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself
Right now, well, I could use a stiff drink
To kill the pain that's deep inside my bones

Have you been dreamin'
I don't dream at all
I have nightmares

Memories careenin'
Have you come to kill what's left
Of my smile

There's no vacancy in paradise
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself
Right now, well, I could use a stiff drink
Kill the pain that's deep inside my bones
I really wished I could have saved you
Then who would have saved me from myself
I really wished I could have saved you

I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you

I really wished I could have saved you
I really wished I could have saved you
I really wished I could have saved you
I really wished I could have saved you

From the title i guessed the friend/lover had recently died and the singer was particulary close at time of death. And is just remember times together and how hard it was to live on alone. But alos looking in the our curiosity about the after life. Just a personal guess, Bloody good song tho

To me, it's about almost losing someone to addiction and not being able to do anything about it... They get better (for me it's eating disorders) because they got caught out but you don't because you left them....
