I've cried millions of tears
and still I haven't learned
that friends will always leave
you standing there
just watching as they walk away.
And while I try not to care
it all comes at me
and I cry these lonely tears.
Why must the ones you love
leave you behind?
Leave you gazing into a future
they will no longer be in?
Leave you with just the distant
memories of what once was?
There's no longer any hope.
There's nothing to look forward to.
Each day is just one more step
to when I'll be alone again.
I had never had anyone whom I could
call a true friend.
And when I finally found
those precious few,
they're leaving all at once,
leaving far behind
the people, the lives
they once knew.
It will all have been a dream
of the life they once lived.
A life that will no longer exist
with each step they take
as they walk into a new future.
