That’s All You Need Now
I once had a friend that said
they would be there to the end,
but he lied and our friendship
died.
When your doing time its easy
to fall for the same old line,
though it’s not a crime.
Why ask why or even cry.
You won’t die on the outside,
but on the inside your soul dies.
You survive, though you thought
both would be old cronies to the end,
but why pretend he’s gone like
the wind.
When you trust someone (male
or female),
that was old phony home fed
baloney,
you now feel lonely.
The part that was your fault,
you have to keep your head
up,
and not let your heart burn,
as the world turns we will
all learn.
If you have someone that has
been there,
through thick and thin,
don’t loose that friend!
You may have to sacrifice,
but don’t let the bond be put
on ice,
through your tears flow that
is all you need to know.
