The song was written after she lost two close friends to drug overdoses., "I lost several friends, unfortunately, to overdose, and the second one was very, very, very close to me, and I loved him very much," The song was specifically written about her friend Sekou Harris, who died of a heroin overdose when they were just teenagers. She said. "The thing that I love about the song now, after all these years, is that I never get tired of performing it, and it's taken on so many different meanings over the years. It was about my grandmother at one point. It was about my dog, I've lost people, so it's always sort of fresh in my heart."
You took my hand, you showed me how You promised me you'd be around, uh huh That's right I took your words and I believed In everything you said to me Yeah huh, that's right If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out 'Cause they're all wrong I know better 'Cause you said forever And ever Who knew? Remember when we were such fools And so convinced and just too cool Oh no, no, no I wish I could touch you again I wish I could still call you a friend I'd give anything When someone said: Count your blessings now 'Fore they're long gone I guess I just didn't know how I was all wrong But they knew better Still you said forever And ever Who knew? Yeah, yeah I'll keep you locked in my head Until we meet again Until we Until we meet again And I won't forget you, my friend What happened? If someone said three years from now You'd be long gone I'd stand up and punch them out 'Cause they're all wrong and That last kiss, I'll cherish Until we meet again And time makes it harder I wish I could remember But I keep your memory You visit me in my sleep My darling Who knew? My darling, my darling Who knew? My darling, I miss you My darling Who knew? Who knew?

this song was originally written to/about her first friend who died from an OD.
I have a strong connection to this one. I’ll tell you about it when I see you soon.
Love you, buddy ♥️
One of my faves by Pink
Just read an article that the song/video was actually inspired by the loss of a friend to an overdose 😢
it was, she wrote it to/about her first friend she lost to an OD.
Pink the best
watch her sing live, it's what an artist should sound like
You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around, uh huh
That's right
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong
I know better
'Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew?
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no, no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything
When someone said: Count your blessings now
'Fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew?
Yeah, yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you, my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
'Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss, I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew?
My darling, my darling
Who knew?
My darling, I miss you
My darling
Who knew?
Who knew?
Not a huge fan of Pink's music but every time I hear this one I crank it up.
Im not sure if he dies or if he O.D and she calls the ambulance
I'm presuming he dies because the song was inspired by one of her friends overdosing
Pink is an important version of Taylor swift. Her songs are deep in meaning about life. Unlike Taylor swift and her teenage break up songs.
