Lost Friends
    by Huh


The loss of an old friend                                                      
The strengthening of a new one                                                 
Can bring so much pain                                                         
Well all is said and done.                                                     
Secrets kept                                                                   
Truths untold                                                                  
All the destructive forces                                                     
Making life so cold.                                                           
Faith kept                                                                     
But trust lost                                                                 
Who's to win                                                                   
And at what cost?                                                              
I should've said                                                               
But how could I                                                                
Break my word                                                                  
To him deny?                                                                   
                                                                               
I want so say I'm sorry                                                        
But you are deaf to me                                                         
Losing so much of you                                                          
Drives me to insanity.
Old old friends we are                                     
So alike in many ways                                                          
But now it seems we seem to be                                                 
Seperated with every day...                                                    
I hope that you can forgive me                                                 
For not telling you at all                                                     
But either way I guess I knew                                                  
I was to be expecting for me to fall..                                         
I really am sorry                                                              
I wish I could have said                                                       
All the things that was going on                                               
And filling up my head...                                                      
                                                                               
But sorry just aint good enough                                               
To replace for all that harm                                                   
There's nothing that I can do                                                  
For you I cannot charm..                                                       
Please forgive me                                                              
For doing what I did                                                           
I guess you're sick of me                                                      
So of me you now are rid                                                       
You have my friendship if you want                                             
Whenever it suits your needs                                                   
But until that time just think of me                                           
As a bothersome little weed.                                                   
I won't bother you anymore                                                     
I'll stay out of your way                                                      
I'll try to help you as best I can                                             
Each and every day                                                             
I'll be your silent helper                                                     
For I am forever to be your friend                                             
Know this right here and now                                                   
I'm here till the very end...
