Comrade at arms, I see the pain in your eyes.
You're wounded and you're tired, and your agony you can't disguise.
Your mind is flooded with questions whose answer you some day hope to surmise
In the midst of all this confusion, there's something I think you don't quite realize.

CHORUS

Though till today I didn't know you
I wish there was some way I could show you
I know you feel betrayed now, you're on your own,
You might not know it now, but you're not alone
Wish I could hurt for you
Wish I could hurt for you.

From the outset to the very end, you helplessly watched the one you love slip away.
(And) though it won't bring her back to say so, she's happier now than she was yesterday.
I can only imagine your heartache, I feel so helpless to know that there's nothing I can say.
There's no one to blame for your anguish and pain, you just have to get on with your day.

CHORUS

Her passing is such a mixed blessing, it's good to know that her suffering has come to an end.
For you to her were a lover, and she to me was like a sister and best friend.
In our own separate ways we both loved her, but it all boils down to the same thing in the end.
Because love in the end never changes, whether love is the love of a lover or brother and friend.
