Song about dealing with a friend's terminal illness

lyrics

It's just like you
To comfort me at a time like this
It's just like you
To put a brave face on and stay positive

It's just like me
To hide behind an artificial smile
As I pretend it's okay
And fight tears back all the while

The truth is that I'm scared
To see you, I'm scared to call
I'm so afraid of what's ahead

And if I could change your life, you know I would
But we're only human after all

It's just like you
To feel guilt for what you're putting people through
When you could lash out at the world
For what's been happening to you

It's just like me
To promise it will be okay
We both know the truth
But I've got nothing else to say

The truth is that I'm scared
Of what is written on the wall
I'm so afraid of what's ahead

Chorus

I'm looking back on all the time that we wasted
We got caught up in the everyday game
To think of all the wine that we should have tasted
Now we see that no one wins

The truth is that I'm scared
Of the regret that's sure to fall
Because we never seem to learn

And if I could change your life you know I would
If I could change your life you know I would
But we're only human after all

It's just like you to comfort me at a time like this
