Your Only Friend

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 a.m., three 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 goodbye To your only friend
