[00:08.52]I drove up the hill just to say goodbye
[00:11.22]But all I found was a For Sale sign
[00:13.76]Put my hand on the gate and there's tears in my eyes
[00:16.60]And all that's been left since the minute you died
[00:19.21]Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees
[00:23.40]But now they're just covered in leaves
[00:30.14]My hands are shaking as I type in the code
[00:33.01]The gate doesn't open just a voice that says "no"
[00:35.56]But I know inside there's a piece of your soul
[00:38.34]That they're painting over and everything else will be sold
[00:42.42]And the piano that played on its own is not playing no more
[00:51.02]I wish that you had called somebody
[00:56.46]And if I wasn't there I'm sorry
[01:03.31]You made me believe you were strong
[01:05.83]I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong
[01:12.70]So goodbye to my best friend ever
[01:18.40]I can't believe you're gone forever
[01:25.05]I came up to find you today
[01:27.68]Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say
[01:34.50]But a dark thought got there first
[01:41.57]They buried your ashes in a Prozac pill
[01:44.29]And all the vultures came to chew on your will
[01:47.07]I hate that you're gone and the questions you leave
[01:49.58]And it's sad that your daughter's not talking to me
[01:52.31]Well I can't draw a heart
[01:53.88]So I drew you a star on the Hollywood Boulevard
[02:02.31]I wish that you had called somebody
[02:07.67]And if I wasn't there I'm sorry
[02:14.53]You made me believe you were strong
[02:17.25]I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong
[02:24.19]So goodbye to my best friend ever
[02:29.73]I can't believe you're gone forever
[02:36.38]I came up to find you today
[02:38.89]Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say
[02:45.87]But a dark thought got there first
[02:51.64]Dark thought did is worst
[02:57.11]That's why I really hurt
[03:02.60]Dark thought got there first
[03:09.36]I drove up the hill just to say goodbye
[03:12.16]But all I found was a For Sale sign
[03:14.77]Put my hand on the gate and there's tears in my eyes
[03:17.59]And all that's been left since the minute you died
[03:20.29]Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees
[03:24.44]But now they're just covered in leaves
