I Called You Last Night*

I called you last night, you picked up the phone
i said, "hey, what's up?" in a happy tone

you said, "not much but i need you to know -
our friendship is over" i said "why is that so?"

you said, "the drama you cause is too much for me
and because of that, we can't be friends...you see?"

i said, "no, i'm sorry, i don't understand"
then i sat down on my bed, put my head on my hand

you started to yell, you started to scream
i didn't understand - we were such a great team

i defended myself as best as i could
but you didn't stop - i never thought you would

after awhile, i started to yell
i got so mad! i'm sure you could tell

memories came flooding. some good, some bad
but the things you said made me so sad

but i held my head high and stood my ground
until all of your cries were a meaningless sound

i loved you, you were my best friend
my only friend, sometimes. we had said "till the end"

i calmed down a little, and so did you
until one of us said something out of the blue

i can't remember who it was that said that awful thing
but we hung up the phone and i heard the low, long ring

we're not friends anymore - it happened so fast
but i still wish we were - i know it would last

lies and the truth tore us apart
our everlasting bond, we have new ones to start

you'll go on your way and so will i
but i promise you now, i will not cry

you tell all these people that's all that i do
the crying, the tears. but no longer for you

i'll miss you forever, i'll love you for now
you ripped out my heart - a horrible sound

i saw you today, but nothing was said
you kept walking and i hung my head

but as you turned the corner, i picked myself up
i'm done with this feeling, this is enough!

i'm stronger now, because you taught me so
Your lessons were helpful. that, i want you to know

so, all i can say, for my last words to you:
good luck in life and in everything you do

oh look! here you come. i smile, you don't
i don't really deserve that. i say "hi" but you won't

i'm folding the paper now, that you read in your hand
i never thought i'd say it, but, "my friend, it's the end."
