Soon after the dark
I walked a mile west
To see an old friend
That I left in the past

He was a fool
Who didn't know love

He was in pain
Even when he laughed

He was selfish
And didn't have any dreams

He was alone
Even when he hugged

Drinking from doubt
It poisoned his mind
He became a monster
That fed on his own flesh

And we were talking about the past
Of all the times we were hurt

And sometimes we sing a gentle song
To reminisce about that

And then it's time for me to go
A mile to the west back
I hugged him tight
And told him to keep the past

And I just walked
Never looking back
Never afraid
Again...
