my most painful regret is that i didnt know my friends as well as i could have. i knew them for what they did. how it related to what i did, but rarely did i know them as they really were, beneath the actions,beyond what was shared. and as suddenly as they appeared in my life, just as suddenly they were gone. in many cases, i dont recall their leaving. they had simply disappeared. as if they were strangers disembarking at a random station. this song references the virus, and many will relate their losses to those catastrophic days, but i am singing about many others in their own isolated circumstances, when i was not there for them in any way
lyrics
i didnt know it would be the last one
i didnt realize id never again hear your voice
soon after this virus attacked you
i didnt know how fast it would take
i didnt realize youd die all alone
i couldnt imagine how quick it all was
going through my mind over and over
i keep recalling our last conversation
im not even sure if i told you i loved you
now you are dying in complete isolation
taking your last breath in complete isolation
the pain is raw
i never saw it coming
i didnt know id never again touch you
i didnt realize your life would be over
my heart is broken
i keep recalling our last conversation
im not even sure if i told you i loved you
now you are dying in complete isolation
