you were desire and i was the fire
keeping your flame alive though it was a tire
killing me slowly every second warmth was required
just to keep your cold heart afire

what would you do if the one you admire
isn't worth setting yourself on fire?

you had the drive and i barely survived
only to derive
that i was deprived
you made me believe that i was alive

but in real life,
i was no more than your test drive

you were Kurt and I was Courtney
love so toxic, you were killing me softly
only to know you were the first to fall deeply
into the dark paradise where it ends peacefully

our love was so toxic it could **** forty
only to take you away from me

My dear friend, how is life treating you?
Do you still watch the stars every night like we used to,
Or do you watch the ceiling in the dark like I do?

My dear friend, how is life treating you?
Do you still hum tunes when you get bored,  
Or do you think of me like I think of you when the lights go off?

My dear friend, how is life treating you?
Do you still cruise down the streets like we did,
Or do you walk alone, like I do, hoping that our paths would meet?

My dear friend, how is life treating you?
Do you still smile as bright,
Or do you now have to hide?

My dear friend, how is life treating you without me?
I hope you're not falling apart like I am without you beside me.
