Best friend, my best friend's gone for sure. I'm never gonna get him back.

and

Pacing and waiting in this empty hospital. Dying in waiting, he desperately clings for life. Suddenly, I'm facing the fear that I've wasted time. (Hold on, don't let go yet. Not now, it's not your time.) My best friend, my best friend's gone for sure. I'm never gonna get him back.
