here::then::gone

Friends come, and friends go
Bonds like tides that ebb and flow
Some hold fast
Yet never last
The water dries up from the roots below

Oh, how I wish these moments could last
Just a little bit longer
Oh —
And it hurts so much, these bonds
When they're a little bit stronger

It just pains me
To live
And to see them come and go
And who's to blame?
I don't know

I saw a friend last night
In a dream — it's been so long
Her face lit up
And she asked where I had gone

Oh, how I wish that moment could last
Just a little bit longer
Oh —
Even in a dream, this pain
Just hits a little bit harder

Oo —
Oh —

And so another one gone
And gone
Oh God
They're here, then gone
And it breaks my heart
It makes me break down

Oo —
Oh, oh —

And it's all my fault
