Friends Come & Go

Friends will come and go.

They'll give you your happiest moments,

Then shatter those memories like glass when they leave.

Friends come and go.

First time I lost a friend I thought it was the end of the world.

I cried for days,

Not wanting to believe it was real.

Friends come and go.

The third time I lost a friend, I still cried, but not as much,

Still missed them like hell,

Tried hard to forget all we'd gone through.

Friends come and go.

The most recent friend I lost...

I still feel numb.

He promised he wouldn't go and leave again,

Yet he did.

Friends come and go.

He lost two of his greatest friends just to be better off with his girlfriend.

His other friend and I told him they'd break up in less than a year,

Was it really worth it?

Losing two life long friends for a year of happiness,

And 3 more years of loneliness?

I hope your happy.

But friends come and go.

What the fuck do I know?

Friends come and go.

The older you get,

The less friends you'll have.

That's what my parents always told me.

It's what they always said.

I wanted to believe I could hold them all dear...

Friends come and go...

But just because they go,

Does that mean they're truly lost forever?

Will I never talk to them again?

Friends come and go.

Sometimes I wished I had never made friends.

Sure I'd be lonely,

But wouldn't that be better than dealing with the pain of losing one?

Wouldn't that just be better?

Friends come and go.

If they come and go,

Why do we even bother?

If they leave anyways,

What was the point?

Friends come and go...

Why is that?

Hell if I know.
