You're so far away
But then you're so close
The ones that we love
The same one's we hurt the most
Let's make a toast
To all of our friends
Who started out with us
And made it to the end
It ain't many
I can name one or two
But if we don't talk
Let me say I miss you
People grow different
And people move away
You start out with a lot
But only few stay
Friend
Why it got an end to it
You was there with me
Even when we been through it
It hurts
But I gotta let you go
What the future holds
Man only God knows
Friend
Why it got an end to it
You was there with me
Even when we been through it
It hurts
But I gotta let you go
What the future holds
Man only God knows
As much as I talk
I don't have much to say
Many years ago
We would have fun and play
Now we don't speak
And I feel so weak
When I think bout how we meet
How we met
I can't forget
It's in the back of my head
Like hair
I still remember the words that you said
Back there
And I probably always will
I'm telling you this now
Cause that's just how I feel
Some things don't last forever
Though we try to make it
That don't make it no better
Some things just have to come to a stop
Sometimes your friend list just gotta drop
That's reality
But I don't want like that
In actuality
I wanna keep my friends and a high salary
But it don't work like that
An unfortunate fact
Life gives you a smack
And says, "Here take that"
Friend
Why it got an end to it
You was there with me
Even when we been through it
It hurts
But I gotta let you go
What the future holds
Man only God knows
Friend
Why it got an end to it
You was there with me
Even when we been through it
It hurts
But I gotta let you go
What the future holds
Man only God knows
I'm emotional
This feels like a devotional
Cause I was loyal to you
And the feeling was reciprocal
Typical
How this happens every time
Not cause something bad
But because something Divine
No one is to blame
I still got love for you
But I'm moving forward
I can't stay comfortable
I hope you understand
I just walk a different way
We were so close for years
But now we fade away
Friend
Why it got an end to it
You was there with me
Even when we been through it
It hurts
But I gotta let you go
What the future holds
Man only God knows
Friend
Why it got an end to it
You was there with me
Even when we been through it
It hurts
But I gotta let you go
What the future holds
Man only God knows
We became so distant
It's really so sad
But I'm still glad
For the times that we had
Some are for a reason
Some are for a season
Some are the reason
That your life has meaning
Goodbye
I would say see you later
But those days are gone
So I write them on a paper
I send you off
And I say God bless you
Two more words
I just wanna say
Thank You
For the times that we had
But I gotta say bye
Goodbye
We had a good run
And I still love you
But I can no longer be your
Friend
