Lyrics

He Needs Proof

Verse #1
It?s hard to stand by a friend
And watch him fall to his knees
When the one that he loved
Leaves with no apology
Word around this town
Was she found another guy
He didn?t know how to take it
He swore the rumors were lies

Chorus:
He needs proof
Even though it?s hard to swallow
Even though it won?t change
The hurt and the pain of feeling hollow
That haunts him every day
There?s only one thing that gets him through
He needs proof

Verse#2
He was on a fast track to hell
Confiding in old Johnny Walker
The last day I saw my friend
Man I was shocked
He could barely speak
But he could knock those shots back down
I tried to get him to stop
Cause I knew he would drown

Chorus:
He needs proof
Even though it?s hard to swallow
Even though it won?t change
The hurt and the pain of feeling hollow
That haunts him every day
There?s only thing that gets him through
He needs proof

Bridge:
Finally the lights went out
The proof was too hard to take
The quote on his stone
Won?t leave me alone
It?s engraved in bold real deep
?This one?s on me?

Chorus/Out
