Beth Patterson - Goodbye, My Old Friend lyrics

My friend, I can't explain this My world is changed forever And I'm scared I'll drag you down if I should fall It's hard to see the gla** as half-full, instead of half-empty When you know we both deserve to have it all I won't subject you to this drama as my life gets an overhaul So goodbye, my old friend I hope that if I see you again We can just go on, pretending that life is fair I hope you love what you do I hope that someone's tending to you The way I was supposed to, when I was there Goodbye, my old friend My friend, it's still hard to accept That now the air between us Is frozen; what a tangled web we weave When once we were as sisters Reduced to less than strangers With a stalemate gameface on, for I believe That when the four winds reveal our true colors, we may not like what we percieve So goodbye, my old friend I hope that if I see you again We can give each other space with cordial form I could have been your ally still I tried to help your joy be fulfilled But now there's a chill that never can be warmed Goodbye, my old friend My friend, according to the book This parting is temporary Your essential being isn't really gone Were you scared on your last journey? Did you suffer long in darkness? Will you greet me when it's my turn to pa** on? It's impossible not to be saddened as you greet the eternal dawn So goodbye, my old friend I hope that if I see you again You will recognize me past my physical array They say we walk into the light And all souls as one they unite So I know it's just goodnight when I say Goodbye, my old friend Goodbye, my old friend
