Some friends I was torn from abruptly
Some friends we just drifted apart
And I can feel the bonds between us straining
You know it’s slowly breaking my heart
Do you remember how we felt this time last year
What happened to those people we were
I remember your laughter distinctly
But recently it’s all been a blur
And I don’t mean to be so maudlin, but it’s been muddlin’ up my mind
Well I’ve lost a share of friends to negligence in my time
So I thought I’d give a holler to say I care for you deeply
And that recently, yeah I’ve been thinking, you and me?
We’ll be fine.
Some groups of people they fracture,
Yeah I’m pretty sure most of them will
It still really sucks to watch it happen
It’s just another jagged little pill
Maybe I should’ve moved town again,
Hell maybe someday I will
Start it all over with some brand new friends
Keep it up ‘til somebody gets killed
I didn’t plan to be so plaintive, put it’s plain enough to see
That when friendships outlast affection, it’s a cruel cacophony
So I thought I’d give a holler to say I care for you deeply
And that recently, yeah I’ve been thinking, you and me?
We’ll be fine.
And I’m sorry, I’m not strong enough
And I’m sorry, but even if I was
I’d be sorry, cuz I ain’t forcing love
Some friends I was torn from abruptly
Some friends I’ve kept close for years
Well it helps that you’re here and you’re lovely
And it hurts when I choke on my fears
I don’t desire to be so doleful, but I’ll be damned if I don’t sing
I sing thanks for your indulgence, in this and everything
So I thought I’d give a holler to say I care for you deeply
And that recently, yeah I’ve been thinking, you and me?
We’ll be fine
