Cover art for In My Time of Need lyrics by Opeth

My girlfriend of over two years just left me last week, and for my "best friend" no less. This song is meaning a lot to me right now. I just found out last night she is going out with my best friend, and all I want to do is die. The first verse is certainly a good summary of how I feel. "Would someone watch over me, In my time of need." That part makes me feel pretty bad since I don't have my friend to watch over me. We have always been there for each other before, but I don't think a true friend what have done this to me. Opeth makes me feel better and worse at the same time, but for good reasons, know what I mean? I feel terrible and am having trouble put it all into focus, but I can listen to a song for someone who has already been there. It makes it easier to go on, kind of. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
