I was sitting in a corner
Wondering what in the world went wrong
I was thinking about my best friend
So I wrote it in this song
I was meeting her for dinner
She was waiting way cross town
She was minding her own business
Until somebody shot her down

How could one take life in ones own hands?
Who told you could take the breath that God breathed into man?
They could be loved they could be needed
They could even be somebody's world
Like the love I shared with my best friend

There was a boy standing on the corner
I'd never seen him in my life
Statistics are showering
He won't make it through the night

I don't know what I can tell you
To make you understand
Since this killing of young people
Is nothing but the enemies plan

Don't you know?
He can be somebody's best friend
Someone's lover
Someone's kin?
Life shut out
With by just a touch of your feelings and soul
With the pain comes shattered memories
Oh someone who was once somebody's best friend
Really, really, hurt me bad
Best friend that I ever had

You don't even know my name
But you hurt me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You hurt me (hurt me)
Hurt me (hurt me)
Made me cry, cry-y-y

Tell me why?
Why?
Why?
Why?

Oh, why'd you have to do it to me?
Why'd you have to do it to me?
Why'd you have to do it to me?
Ohhh
You don't even know my name
But you took my best friend
And can you tell me why?
Mmmmm-mm-mm-mm

Like the love I shared with my best friend
(My best friend)
Like the love I shared with my best
My best friend
My best friend
