I drove up the hill just to say goodbye

But all I found was a For Sale sign

Put my hand on the gate and there's tears in my eyes

And all that's been left since the minute you died

Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees

But now they're just covered in leaves

My hands are shaking as I type in the code

The gate doesn't open just a voice that says "no"

But I know inside there's a piece of your soul

That they're painting over and everything else will be sold

And the piano that played on its own is not playing no more

I wish that you had called somebody

And if I wasn't there I'm sorry

You made me believe you were strong

I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong

So goodbye to my best friend ever

I can't believe you're gone forever

I came up to find you today

Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say

But a dark thought got there first

They buried your ashes in a Prozac pill

And all the vultures came to chew on your will

I hate that you're gone and the questions you leave

And it's sad that your daughter's not talking to me

Well I can't draw a heart

So I drew you a star on the Hollywood Boulevard

I wish that you had called somebody

And if I wasn't there I'm sorry

You made me believe you were strong

I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong

So goodbye to my best friend ever

I can't believe you're gone forever

I came up to find you today

Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say

But a dark thought got there first

Dark thought did is worst

That's why I really hurt

Dark thought got there first

I drove up the hill just to say goodbye

But all I found was a For Sale sign

Put my hand on the gate and there's tears in my eyes

And all that's been left since the minute you died

Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees

But now they're just covered in leaves
