I try to sleep, but my eyes are open

I can't think cause my heart is broken

And there's a bottle right next to me

I'll down a few drinks just to take the pain away

I wanna say all the things I need to say

I won't lie, I'll just tell them honestly

If God can take a friend away from me

Then I can say all I want and he won't do anything

My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak

I can't say nothing at all

Sleep well, my friend

There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go

Sleep well, goodnight

You're something to remember

I wish that you were here by my side

I spend hours tryna make it through the day

I don't know if I'll ever be the same

It's hard enough when you're all alone

In the city that you love, now Atlanta's just a burial ground

My tongue is weak and every time I try to speak

I can't say nothing, nothing at all

It's hard to think when losing someone only make you wanna scream

And now that you're gone

Sleep well, my friend

There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go

Sleep well, goodnight

You're something to remember

I wish that you were here by my side

All the stained pieces, I can't believe this

A mother shouldn't witness her son die at twenty-four

(Please don't know this is for the hopeless,

It's ripping me apart and I can't take it anymore)

I will hold my tongue for the rest of my life

I can't keep this up anymore

Sleep well, my friend

There will be another moment we'll meet again, just let it go

Sleep well, goodnight

You're something to remember

I wish that you were here by my side

By my side

Sleep well, goodnight

You're something to remember

I wish that you were here by my side
