Dear Ol' Friend
got all those messages you sent
heard the screw up, but knew what you meant

Dear Ol' Friend
Found your phone at the pub
where we got our favorite subs

Dear Ol' Friend
Went to grab the boat
But the thing just wouldn't float

Dear Ol' Friend
Heard your husband left you today
well I heard he cheated on you for many years
One of your worst fears

Dear ol' Friend
Heard your father died today
Liver cancer I'm sorry to say
took the best of him today

Dear Ol' Friend
Though I'd tell you
I always loved you

Dear ol' Friend
You slit your wrists and now your dead
Good bye My Dear Ol' Friend.
