Lyrics:

I drove up the hill just to say goodbye,
But all I found was a For Sale sign.
Put my hand on the gate and there’s tears in my eyes,
And all that’s been left since the minute you died,
Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees,
But now they’re just covered in leaves.
My hands are shaking as I type in the code.
The gate doesn’t open, just a voice that says, “no”.
But I know inside there’s a piece of your soul,
That they’re painting over and everything else will be sold.
And the piano that played on its own is not playing no more.

I wish that you had called somebody.
And if I wasn’t there, I’m sorry.
You made me believe you were strong.
I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong.
So goodbye to my best friend ever.
I can’t believe you’re gone forever.
I came up to find you today,
Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say.
But a dark thought got there first.

They buried your ashes in a Prozac pill,
And all the vultures came to chew on your will.
I hate that you’re gone and the questions you leave,
And it’s sad that your daughter’s not talking to me.
Well, I can’t draw a heart so I drew you a star on the Hollywood Boulevard.

I wish that you had called somebody.
And if I wasn’t there, I’m sorry.
You made me believe you were strong.
I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong.
So goodbye to my best friend ever.
I can’t believe you’re gone forever.
I came up to find you today,
Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say.
But a dark thought got there first.

I drove up the hill just to say goodbye,
But all I found was a For Sale sign.
Put my hand on the gate and there’s tears in my eyes,
And all that’s been left since the minute you died,
Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees,
But now they’re just covered in leaves.
