A Friend
Location
They keep telling me it'll turn out okay
I try to believe 'em every time they say,
"I know it's been hard but it'll get better"
They want me to move on but all I do is remember
I miss the old days when everything was good
We goofed off together whenever we could
I never thought we could be severed
But I guess nothing can really last forever
You say you're still here and I want to believe
But it's so hard to do when all I can see
Is your smiling face next to someone new
And I keep thinking that should be me standing next to you
I'm okay when i don't think too much
But my mind often fails me 'cause you were my crutch
My one and only, my very best friend
The one that would be with me 'til the very end
Somehow I feel the end came too soon
You're sorting me out so you can make room
For all the others coming into your life
I knew this would happen but it was never alright
I never kept secrets and I never did lie
I told you my stories yet we said goodbye
I hoped it wouldn't be so long, I prayed you would stay
So my heart will keep breaking every second you're away
I could talk forever about how perfect you are
But words don't do you justice, you're better by far
What happened to those days when it was just us
You've gone and they've come but they're not nearly enough
How can I possibly tell you how much you mean to me
You were my everything, you set me free
When it was you and me that was all it was
Just two people perfect together, it was us
Where has the time gone since we were
It's slipped through my fingers and all is a blur
I'm sorry to say this but I'm very broken
Our final goodbye tore my chest open
I hate to tell you this, it's such a big burden
But my point needs to be clear, I need to be certain
That you understand how I feel about you
And that you always remember my word is the truth
You'd be sorely mistaken if you thought I'd forget
Any of our promises, I have no regrets
We had some amazing moments in our past
Sadly I don't know that our goodbye wasn't our last
I'd love it to be us all over again
I keep replaying each scene once more in my head
If I could have influenced your decision to stay
I'd have done it so quickly, I'd try any way
I'm sorry if I bore you, I'm sorry this is lame
But it's all I can do to keep myself sane
If you read this through you might realize
How much I love you and how much I've tried
To remind myself it's better to have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all, whatever the cost
I still wish you were here, so I'll watch the stars fall
And keep hoping one will bring you to me in the end of it all
