lyrics

i'm looking around for someone i know
they used to be here and not long ago
but it would seem that they've been left behind
the world moving on they've been left with no pride

down and out is what they've become and i cry
nothing i say will change how they are i ask why
these are people i used to respect
stuck with addiction and filled with regret
why is it now i see you and i only feel pain

'cos now and then i look back again
remember the good times and picture my friends
you were there and you'll always be here
but we all seem different and you've disapeared

a down and out is what you've become and i cry
nothing i say will change how you are i ask why
you are someone i used to respect
stuck with addiction and filled with regret
why is it now i see you and i only feel pain

the other day i was walking around town and i saw
a hooded figure hudled begging in a doorway
i nearly walked past until i heard my name
looked down at my feet and realised it was you

'cos now and then i look back again
remember the good times and picture my friends
you were there and you'll always be here
but we all seem different and you've disapeared

a down and out is what you've become and i cry
nothing i say will change how you are i ask why
you are someone i used to respect
stuck with addiction and filled with regret
why is it now i see you and i only feel pain
