Lyrics Pink's Song - Richard Wright

Quiet, smiling friend of mine thrown into our lives
You gave everything you could, saw through our disguise

I had to stay, I could not leave
Give me time, so I can breathe
Give me time to be at ease

Patiently, you watched us play parts you'd seen before
Even then, we sometimes asked, "Would you keep us all?"
Caught between the tangled web, you helped set us free
Sadly, then, you lost yourself, so you had to leave

And I must go, be on my way
Let me go, I can not stay
Let me go, I must not stay

And I must go, be on my way
Let me go, I cannot stay
Let me go, I cannot stay
