Joy

She was my best friend

My start and finish to the day

I was round at her house

We talked too loud and put the world to right

We did things our way

But her reflection in the mirror was all wrong

And looking back I was pretty stupid then

A lesson learned

Joy

I moved on

Joy

Then there were the phone calls

She was on a roof

Somewhere we couldn't find her

We didn't look as if we needed proof

Thought that she was joking

Just being the drama queen

Her dad hit her when she got home

She didn't tell us anything

A lesson learned

Joy

I never knew what he'd done

Joy

The most beautiful face that I had ever seen

I had no idea the trouble she was in

And I should have noticed she was so thin

But I can't save her now

She was my best friend

I should've listened

She was my best friend

And I'm still here counting the cost

Marking the distance

From what we had to what we both lost

And I always wanted to look just like her

How could I understand how much her beauty hurt

When my world was innocent

How I miss the time we spent

She was my best friend

And I'm still here counting the cost

Marking the distance

From what we had to what we both lost

She was my best friend

I should've listened

She was my best friend

And I'm still here counting the cost

Marking the distance

From what we had to what we both lost

From what we had to what we both lost
