it takes three to drown

this is the story about the three of us.
down by the water, watching it rise.
i wish i could've stopped time,
i wish we could go back to the way it used to be.

it's sad seeing him drown,
and now we feel lonely.
i wish there was something we could say to him,
to give him courage to live.

it's getting so hard to swim,
and the water's getting rough for us two.
now i wish i let go of your hand,
before you pulled me under the cold water.

i wish i could ignore the truth,
that i have lost sight of who i am.
i wish i could be stronger and swim to the top,
but now i feel like all hope's lost.

here's to friendship that never dies.
i will always love you both.
