New Friends

Well it's been 17 weeks now

From the moment when you called

And said you know you're better off alone

It's getting harder to say you were wrong

Seems that everything was alright

Until the moment when you called

And then you said you'd find a new friend

But I guess that's better than nothing at all

Cause I couldn't bear to argue with you now

Or ever if that matters

It's just half a life seems short lived when you count

All the days that I know you're not around

Can't even recognize myself

I don't know who I am, feels like I'm somebody else

Let all the good things slide as far as I can tell

All that I had left and now I'm wishing you well

Guess I've been sleeping alright

And I've been eating well

Trying to do the things

You said were good for my health

Do these small things right

Oh in the hope it'll help

But I guess these growing pains

Don't go away with the mail

Cause I couldn't bear to argue with you now

Or ever if that matters

It's just half a life seems short lived when you count

All the days that I know you're not around

Honey spare me the heartache

Don't wanna build it right back up from the ground

Done with learning the hard way

Another blow and I'm sure I'll stay down

And I'll stay down
