The people come, the people go
I like some, they're my friends.
Friendship is fleeting, it's a painful blow.
So many meetings, they're new friends.
It reminds me of moving, of saying goodbye.
Eternity is proving, they used to be friends.
They say "forever," but it's a lie.
I have to surrender, I've lost my friends.
