Someone I used to call a friend

Hello, why it’s been a long time, I didn’t even see you there, Funny, but I usually see you everywhere,

It looks as though the years have treated you well, As for me, well there are a few stories I could tell

Oh, I was just in town, passing through, Haven’t been here for a while, Though not the first time since I last saw you,


No, I never see the old faces, but if I was to be true, none of them were really friends, I only knew them because of you,


No I’m not expecting our paths to ever cross again, You’re just someone I used to call a friend,


I heard about your holiday, I bet it was nice to get away, I know we always planned to go together, But it never happened that day

Yes, I knew about your new job, Oh, just the things I pick up while waiting at the bus stop,

Your new car, your children’s school work, oh I still see it all, Funny how social media even lets me know you repainted the wall,


Heck you’re still eating from the soup bowl I bought you way back when, You’re just someone I used to call a friend,


Well you’re still eating from the soup bowl I bought you way back when,
You’re just someone I used to call a friend
