Cash It In

One flame burning down
One cry that made no sound
If I'd known how far you'd go, I would have run to
Find you and hold you and pull you from the flames
My love for you is breaking in
To seal my pain and you're cashing it in
Your world broke down and cut you through
I close my eyes and I whisper a prayer for you
My good friend
How long did you feel confused?
Trying to find just one piece of you
I should have seen those empty eyes and the life inside
You fading away and, and pulled you from the flames
My love for you is breaking in
To steal my pain and you're cashing it in
Your world broke down and cut you through
I close my eyes and I whisper a prayer for you
You know I miss you now
If I could see your face
If I could speak one word to you
Why?
Why?
My good friend
It looks so bright outside
Love for you is breaking in
To seal my pain and you're cashing it in
The world broke down and left you cold
I close my eyes and I whisper a prayer
My love for you is breaking in
To steal my pain and you're cashing it in
Your world broke down and cut you through
I close my eyes and I whisper goodbye to you
And so I say goodbye, my good friend
