I missed a call on Tuesday morning.
I got the message at the dawning.
It was then I heard his voice,
Saying that he had no choice.
I'm sorry.
I'd seen him only yesterday.
Down at the Wonderland Cafe.
Was there something in his words,
Something that I should have heard?
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
He told me that his life was strange,
And soon something had to change.
And he looked so far away.
There was nothing I could say.
But I'm sorry.
So sorry.
It's so hard to understand.
Was this something he had planned?
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
His voice still echoes in my ears.
Sometimes it's all that I can hear.
He said, "Never be afraid
Of the promises you've made.
I'm sorry.
So sorry.
So sorry."
