Ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you 'bout my friend
Life of the party right until the end
The night we met he picked me up, bear hugs on Pozieres
Lifted me so high, lifted me so high
Yeah
Something like a brother is just what he became
We'd play guitars and drink at bars then stumble home again
"Everyday gets easier" or so they try to say
But he was too young to die, too young to die
We lost our good friend Benjamin this heartache never ends
Nothing can prepare you for the pain that life can bring
Wooah, Wooah
Wooah, Wooah
Now as we get older I just can't help wondering...
Maybe he'd be married and have raised a pair of kids
And its still too hard to look at photos, though he left years ago
But we see his face in his mother's face and his brother is his clone
We lost our good friend Benjamin this heartache never ends
Nothing can prepare you for the pain that life can bring
We lost our good friend Benjamin this heartache never ends
Nothing can prepare you for the pain that life can bring
Wooah, Wooah, Wooah, Wooah
Wooah, Wooah, Wooah, Wooah
We lost our good friend Benjamin this heartache never ends
Nothing can prepare you for the pain that life can bring
Yeah
Nothing can prepare you for the pain that life can bring
