Sarah

Once upon a time
I had a best friend too.
The kind who knew more about me than I did.
I was positive she was true.
I knew all her secrets
and she knew mine.
We did everything together
from crying to crime.
But nine and a half years
is an awfully long climb,
and we all know everything
changes with time.

And now it kills me to know,
to see how we’ve grown (apart)
and faded away.
And I can’t help but feel,
how can this be real
and so different from those days?
And I know
that we’ve both grown
and moved on with our lives,
met new people
and changed.
But why
did we choose to fade
so far away?

No more passing hellos
and no more drawn out goodbyes.
Now she’s with the crowd I so desperately craved,
now we hardly lock eyes.
She’s got tons of friends
and I’m nearly alone.
She’s out on the town
while I’m sitting at home.
I try to call
but my number’s unknown.
Tell me why?
Is this the way we’ve grown?

And now it kills me to know,
to see how we’ve grown (apart)
and faded away.
And I can’t help but feel,
how can this be real
and so different from those days?
And I know
that we’ve both grown
and moved on with our lives,
met new people
and changed.
But why
did we choose to fade
so far away?

So tell me now, dear
do you ever miss those years?
Do you ever think of me
or how it used to be?
Do you care anymore?
What about the things we swore?
Or are you just
to
damn
busy?

And now it kills me to know,
to see how we’ve grown (apart)
and faded away.
And I can’t help but feel,
how can this be real
and so different from those days?
And I know
that we’ve both grown
and moved on with our lives,
met new people
and changed.
But why
did we choose to fade
so far away?
So damn far away?
Darling, why’d you go away?
I wish you’d come back and stay.
Sarah, don’t fade away.
