I never thought I'd ever hold hands
I don't hold hands anymore
The memory of holding hands
My friend dies as I can't save him

It's my job and I fail
I can't believe I was such a failure
He looks in my eyes
As he fades away

I tell him he's not alone
I hold him close
Holding his hand tight
because I failed at my job

I get the body bag
Slide his tags in his teeth
and attach one to his boot
My friend he died

I'll never hold hands again
The last one died
I failed him
I can't hold hands again
