Your Only Friend

(专辑： Peace...Like A River - 2023)

Year after year
I've all watched you fall
And pick yourself up again
And time after time
We've all seen you crawl
2 am 3 sheets in the wind
Back to your only friend

Is it me or is it her tonight?
Will it be somebody else tomorrow?
Is that you? I can't tell anymore
The line between us has narrowed
Will you walk that line again?
Back to your only friend

These days we've all gone a little crazy
But you're way beyond the rest of us
Your shadow shows up long before you do
Covered in ashes and dust
Not a soul that you can trust

Are you lonesome or just confused?
Is it your head or your heart that's broken?
Are you still the victim, is that still your lame excuse?
Why you've closed every door I ever opened
Will they stay closed at the end?
Will you blame it on your only friend?

So many times in my mind I've left you
On the side of some dark road along the way
And so many times I've wept for you
Guess I always knew we'd wind up here someday, someday

So here we are
The moon is bright and full
Shining like a big ol' yesterday
We both know those days were beautiful
But for me they're long ago and far away
And for you they're here to stay

It's time for us to wake up from this dream we shared
A dream that ends two different ways
Don't blame me 'cause I chose to walk away
From the bright lights and the haze
No one else left here now to offend
But on me you could always depend
So don't you dare condescend
Just say good-bye
To your only friend
