Salty tears fall from my eyes
And my heart fills with pain
Wanting to move on with my life
I try and try in vain

Don’t you know what happened to me?
The day you left this world
My world crumbled down all around me
Alone you let me be

Who can wipe away my tears?
Who can help me up?
Who can hold my hand if need be?
Who can chase away my fears?

You were there when I needed you
To moan or talk or fight
You took every single thing I threw at you
And yet now your soul took flight

Hunter, I cant live in this world without you
Every day is just so hard
I have looked for my inner strength
And found nothing but my heart which was scared

I have tried to move on
Tried hard and yet failed
I can no longer do without
This train has finally been derailed

I want to say goodbye to you
And move on with my life
But by saying goodbye my friend
Feels like it is the end

How can I say that final goodbye?
The one I never wanted to say
The one that will end all of hope
Of ever seeingyou again

I know I have to say it
I know you will always be mine
A friend that I love and cherish
A memory for all of time

Is this a final goodbye?
Alas I cannot say
I wish to god I could be so sure
But tears just come my way

Tears that seem to want to help
Help me with my pain
The only trouble is you see
Is thatthey keep me actually sane

They are comfort that I now seek
The comfort that is you gave me
The comfort that I hold near
It’s something that I never fear

I love you Hunter,
You know it’s true,
You will forever be,
Deep in my heart you see.

I cant really say it is the right
Time to say goodbye
I have contemplated it so much
God knows I have to try

My heart is in pain
My eyes shead tears
I have to say goodbye
Untill we meet again dear friend
May our friendship never die
