Lyrics:
After I knew there was only bad news
Your hospital bed felt more like a waiting room
And I had to leave before you left
Cause I was too weak to watch your last breath
I thought time healed every wound ‘til I lost you
I swear life has been so cruel
Taking it all away, everyone, everything’s gone but the pain
I’ll just lie
Say I’m fine as tears run dry
I thought time healed every wound ‘til I lost you
It hurt like hell when I dropped your clothes off at Goodwill
Now It smells like cigarette ash in my backseat
somehow it feels like you’re next to me
I need you right now
Cause I can’t see the end
The space you left goes on forever

Thank you this is the song I have been waiting for ❤🥹

[@normandvictor16]

you and tssf got us griefing like a mf tysm

[@ComicBookPoser]

I lost my mom on Christmas eve-eve 2023, with her in and out of the hospital for the past two years. This song does an amazing job vocalizing my thought process throughout her demise, and where my struggles have been everyday since then. This is beautiful, thank you for the song.

[@codyb6849]

Thanks guys I have lost folks an family to thanks for this song and video guys love Cody

[@emobuddha]

You dropped this when I needed it the most 😭😭😭

[@nexion0617]

"I was too weak to watch your last breath" hits right in the chest. Lost my Dad in 2013, my Grandmother in 2021, and my Mom in 2022. At this point in my life, it feels like everything was taken from me and It's so hard to cope with the loss of the most important people in my life. I just feel numb and I forgot what it feels like to be truly "Happy". Whoever you are, and if you're going through it right now, I hope you find peace.

[@emeraldbarker-l5x]

My dad died recently. This song is on repeat I had my first cigar with him Your lyrics feel like they are written for my experience. Guess 30 is hard for everyone. I've been listening to you since I was 22 Thank you for every album and sso. I wouldn't be the same without you all

[@JoeydrinksSherry]

Your guys rebuild and re-rise since Cody has joined has not only been awesome and impressive…it’s personally been inspiring. Thank you and God Bless

Currently sobbing. I lost my dad to prostate cancer a few years back and I've been missing him so hard. Thank you for ones again speaking to my core ❤ I love you real friends 🧡

[@Khritter]

I'm sorry for your loss, sending you love and hugs

[@znys9972]

I’d recommend The Story So Far new album! He lost his dad and the whole album is about that! It’s called I want to disappear

[@znys9972]

I love real friends and the story so far ❤ sorry for your loss!!

[@maxrichardson6495]

In the last twelve years, I’ve lost my mom, stepdad and brother. This song speaks volumes and I just miss them everyday.

I needed this today thank y’all! It’s been almost 8 years since I lost my mom and the beginning of this really hit me. R.I.P Momma

Sorry for your loss. My wife passed away on May 15th, she was only 31.

[@DontDealWithMephisto]

Sorry for your loss man.. She will be alive in your memories and your heart. Stay strong ❤

[@beanie_4977]

I’m not going to lie, I was very pro Dan era fan of real friends. But this is the first post Dan real friends song I genuinely enjoyed. They sound genuine and raw like they did in the beginning years of the band. I really appreciate the emotion expressed in this song. Keep it going 🖤

[@da_kevin]

exact same boat, the energy here is refreshing

[@jsh020]

yeah personally im kind of just ok with the ep they did post dan but I think everything from this album has sounded fantastic

[@ZephyrusBlue]

Any thoughts on the album now that it’s here? I think it’s fantastic 🤘🏻

[@xJessasaurusRex]

Already one of my favorite RF songs. I absolutely can not wait to scream sing this.

[@realfriendsband]

❤️ thank you. It’s a very very special song to us and glad we can share it with you now

[@chantedurand9433]

I lost my Mom on the 19th of July and I've been listening to this song ever since. These are my feelings exactly. Thank you for this outlet🖤

[@dvckduckgoose]

Been wrapped up in my grief lately, it's comforting knowing i can always come home to RF to know i'm not alone. Needed this today. It''s been a great 9 years with your music in my life

[@deborahbowermaster6046]

With the exception of not staying until his last breath, this hits home. It's hard to watch someone you love, with every fiber of your being, die. It's hard to keep going and face every day without them. In 2months, it will be 3 years since my sweet husband died. I love you honey and miss you so much 💔

[@skateordie280]

The vocal performance on this is next level

[@priyanshuchndr1]

Lyrics, riffs, vocals, drums everything is superb

[@beezybeez4207]

This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎶🐺

[@snowandcoal]

What I hear is generic cookie cutter.

[@Derek-gj8wz]

​@@snowandcoalWhat I see is a bitch typing.

[@Skux720]

Almost one year since I lost my friend. This song is just what I need. Thank you Real Friends. Miss you Cass.

[@mofzpo]

Awesome vocals. This band was definitely upgraded. Keep up!

[@realfriendsband]

Thanks dude ❤❤

[@pyrochotic420]

Probably my favorite song right now, can't wait for the new album❤

[@RaviolliRoy]

I just lost my Dad six days ago due to complication (disease). I miss him everyday. And this song is a reminder of his memories. Thanks a lot!

[@ClintAntipas]

It's 2am in my country and i've been repeating this song now for almost 2 hrs. Every word pierced. Love and support from the Philippines.

[@DonySetiawan]

I’m really grateful for Cody being in Real Friends. Everything is perfect right now for you guys! Please don’t ever think to break up or something like that. Love from Indonesia. 🇮🇩

[@rileydickerson542]

An absolute banger per usual. RF forever and ever, enough said.

You guys stayed true to your sound over the time and that's admirable! Its easy to understand why your fanbase love you so much! Thank you for keeping this project up, and for another amazing song! Hope to see Real Friends here in Brazil one day!

[@artificiallyflavord5588]

Sounds nothing like when Dan was vocalist. Just sounds like a lot of other bands now.

[@danidelgado7550]

Thank you for another heart tugging song. Lost my grandma as a teen and had to hold in the agony, pain, and grief of her not being here for so long. I started therapy this year. And with the help of you guy's music, I'm able to take in and reflect those feelings in a healthy way. ✨Real Friends being the realest✨

[@bonnielynn1779]

I always told my friends that this band is my favorite band and they gonna famous more for sure! Love you guys so much❤❤xoxo

[@Ravensikkness]

This is amazing! Thank you for making this song. Over the years I've lost many friends to the icy hands of death and I just want to see them all again. But this song is gonna help a lot whenever I think about it. It's hard to lose the people you gave a damn about. 💔🖤

[@onebreath210]

When my grandma was still with us, she used to say in regards to my grandfather passing, time doesn't heal wounds, you miss the person more and more as time goes on, you just learn how to live with it.

[@Nnoize]

This song is incredibly raw and powerful. Your honesty about such a painful experience is truly inspiring. Sending strength and support to you all.

[@legrasdugeek362]

Thanks to the KZbin algorithm, great discovery that I listen to on a loop, the chorus is really addictive ! Good luck to the group I'll be happy to follow 😊

From the first chord I knew exactly what the vocals would sound like.

[@theresamartinez5490]

When this was performed at Sad summer I dreaded hearing it because my grandma was not doing well and I couldn’t imagine losing her. Well, yesterday she passed. Now this is all I feel like hearing because someone else can relate. Crying has become my new friend lately..

[@Mexfinity]

Yass! The bois are back. Controversial opinion: Cody is the best thing that could happen to them. Don't get me wrong. I loved Dan, but let's face it: Cody just is the better and more versatile singer. Glad, you guys will finally put out a full length again! 🤟🏻

[@willm5032]

Idk I miss Dan's Gravelly roar however Cody's certainly allowed them to go in a more mature, thoughtful direction so I'm all for it

[@Mexfinity]

​@@willm5032Agreed!

This is so different yet so similar to older Real Friends, I love how you can make cool stuff like that! I lost my grandma earlier this year and absolutely feel the song

[@taefantasy5697]

I haven’t lost anyone in the literal way this song is meant to, but I did lose someone I gave all my heart and time to, and I just feel my life keeps reproducing the same scenario with more people around me. This song touched me differently, but I can feel in it the inner rage and incomprehension overall. I just discovered you with this song, and I won’t hesitate a minute to check all your work out and know more about you. You all seem so talented. You’ve gained a fan. Keep up the great work.

[@Brianna-g2q]

Love you guys. You never disappoint, banger after banger ❤

[@realfriendsband]

Appreciate the love!

Real friends continuing on the up. Getting older, losing track at times- to find out a day before the Asbury Park show they had a new singer- I was bummed, but blown away at their performance. Cody absolutely killed it. Never give up- keep shredding!

[@Sirenhunter5]

It’s been many years since I’ve listened to these guys. I like it. That being said It’s been a couple of months since my oldest dog has past and seeing the area where her and her daughter used to live in, get torn down. It’s sad because of the memories that is embed in those walls. Was hard seeing her take her last breath but I’m glad she’s in the ether now. One day I’ll get to see them, including my one eyed dog, again.

[@karinacarrillo1091]

I love you guys! Can't wait for the album! 🫶
