Necktie

I would have smashed the door down
If she hadn’t let me in
I knew that you were in there
And all the pain that you were in

I didn’t spot the signals
I missed them all somehow
And came home to find your letter
And I still regret that now

I rushed straight round
Hoping I could do some good
Trying to save you from your fate
Like a best friend should

Didn’t want to wear a necktie
To go with the darkened suit
Didn’t want to have to stand around
Feeling quiet and strangely mute
Didn’t want to wear a necktie
And have to put you in the ground
Just wanted to wake up every day
And know my friend was still around

I’m glad he smashed the door down
He knew the pain that you were in
You’d done so much together
Both been though it, thick and thin

If we had only known it was so wrong
If only we had listened more
We could have saved you both from this fate
No best friend should endure

I rushed straight there
Knowing I could do no good
Praying to god almighty
Like I never knew I could

Didn’t want to wear a necktie
To go with the darkened suit
Didn’t want to have to stand around
Feeling quiet and strangely mute
Didn’t want to wear a necktie
And have to put you in the ground
Just wanted to wake up every day
And know my bro was still around

Didn’t want to wear a necktie
And have to put you in the ground
Just wanted them to wake up every day
And know their father’s still around
