What once was grand - Andrew Reist

I never thought that you would cut me there
I reminisce and it all seems like a dream
I think of you and know that nothing is fair
But dream all you need dream all you need
I feel now like you were messing around
But I failed twice and I've got nothing to show
So I cried out while running back to my shroud
Free all you know free all you know
Leave me be
In this place where I once belonged
Set me free
When I say that I know I was wrong
But you should know you were my friend all hope was shed you were my friend
I remember it all this will end but you should know what once was grand

*Notes/Disclaimers for the judges:
I use the cdcd twice - as the second and third verses. The gg lines are long, but they looked more proper on paper, believe me. 😉 And yes, I realize there is pretty much no iambic pentameter here. However, I have little doubt that the song would have felt wrong with it.

Also, the title isn't as tacked on as it may appear upon initial observation. The song is about the loss of a friendship, which is entirely inspired by the title.*

With those notes in mind ... NUR EIN!
