Absence Lyrics by Forgotten Faces

The Masquerade

2015

Dear friend, wish you didn't leave
We both know that you couldn't take the hate
Now, I'm by myself bearing all this weight
Dear friend, you're the one I miss
We both know that this distance brings me pain
Why'd you go away? why couldn't you stay?
I know you're gone, now I'm alone
I hope you know that I need you here
I hope we can meet one last time
I'm dying inside because you're not near
Why'd you go? couldn't you see
You meant the world to me?
Forget the past, this is right now
I'm lost, you're not around
This night reveals our friendship's fate
I have accepted it's too late
Impossible to turn back time
In picture frames, these memories shine
I have accepted that on this night
Impossible to turn back time
I know you're gone
I've said my farewell
But without you, life is hell
