Once upon a time, when we were just kids
We lived without burden, happy and care-free
But time has passed and things are not the same
You’re slowly slipping away from me
So long ago we were best of friends
Sisters not by blood, but by heart
Now you’re fading from my life
Leaving me depressed, sour and tart
I must face it, you’ve grown up
And left me in the dust
With your face so solemn and grave
It’s an expression I can’t make myself trust
I remember when we were both so young
When I asked for the truth you would abide
Though you shrug and tell me it’s okay
I know you’re hiding something inside
Sometimes I stare into your face and look
For the friend in you that’s no longer there
But your sad smile, the bitterness in your eyes
Is too much for me to bear
I tried to hang on to you, tried to pull you back down
Bring you back within my speaking range
But I am becoming more and more like you
And I’m not sure I like that change
