    This song reminds me of one guy. The kid I met in 7th grade was very funny. We didn't talk to him that often, but still we were friends.
    We entered one university in another city and continued closer communication there. He invited me to his home and as it turned out, he was also a fan of Star Wars and gave me a couple of comics to read. We loved Guns'n'Roses and Axl Rose's vocals. Together with him we studied screaming vocals during the summer holidays.
    One day I wanted to write to him and meet to give the comics back and sing songs in the garage. On the same day, the news of his death came. I did not believe that he was dead and called his classmate to find out if this was true. It was true. The news gave my legs buckled and I began to cry. I still can't believe it.
    Badya, you will always be in our hearts. The comics on my shelf in the bedroom will keep the memory of you. Someday we will read them together.

    LYRICS:
    Step one, you say we need to talk
    He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
    He smiles politely back at you
    You stare politely right on through
    Some sort of window to your right
    As he goes left, and you stay right
    Between the lines of fear and blame
    You begin to wonder why you came
    Where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would have stayed up with you all night
    Had I known how to save a life
    Let him know that you know best
    'Cause after all, you do know best
    Try to slip past his defense
    Without granting innocence
    Lay down a list of what is wrong
    The things you've told him all along
    And pray to God he hears you
    And I pray to God he hears you
    And where did I go wrong?
    I lost a friend
    Somewhere along in the bitterness
    And I would
