Once I had A Friend

Once I had a friend

A true true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very very end

We talked on the phone

Every chance we had

In the morning, at night

Just before bed

She knew me better than I knew myself

She knew me better than most

She was my whole life

From morning to night

We hung out every day

Always were together


Once I had a friend

A true, true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very, very end

I never had a friend like her

She made my life a great big blur

Of fun times, of great days

Times when my life was a big big maze

She was my friend

My very best friend

So very unique

So incredibly sweet

She made the days go by so fast

They never would last



Once I had a friend

A true, true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very, very end

A year came, a year passed

New days came at last

I never thought she'd change

She'd always stay the same

Until Middle school came

Just that word, just the name

Brings back memories, brings back reveries

I remember that day, I remember that year

No matter how hard I try to forget.

The memory lingers here, never going to disappear


Once I had a friend

A true, true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very, very end

She became someone else

Someone very different

Someone I just wasn't used to seeing

Slowly but surely we started disagreeing

She made new friends

Left me behind

I later would find that I really was blind

To have her as a friend, to think she was kind

I trusted her, all those days

I trusted her, all those years



Once I had a friend

A true, true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very, very end

I still see her from time to time

We never talk, never speak

Not like before, not like we used to

Never anymore

It took me awhile to stop being sad

It took me awhile to stop being mad

I always thought I did something wrong, said something wrong

But now I know it wasn't me, that drove us apart

It was her from the start

She could've stayed, could've chosen not to betray me


Once I had a friend

A true, true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very, very end

Once I had a friend

A true, true friend

We swore we'd be friends

Till the very, very end

Once I had a friend

A true, true friend
