Sometimes you do not need to know someone in life to be counted as their friend, just as long as you are there for them at the end.

Lyrics
Final Friend
by Dawn Sinclair
She was crossing the street,
made it almost half way
with her mind on the problems
she’d faced in the day
and she wondered this time
like she did frequently
if she might have done better
if she'd done things differently
Now there won't come a time
to find out if she was right
but she'll never have to face
another anxious night
because her world stopped
she's not going anywhere
oh yeah her world stopped
so she no longer needs to care
and here I stand, a witness to her end
no words between us
and yet I am her final friend
--------------**----------------
He was driving too fast
more than blood inside his vein
as he chilled out to the music
that was easing all his pain
the car wandered this time
as it did frequently
and he didn’t even notice
when it stopped so suddenly
Now there won’t come a time
when he’ll pay for what he’s done
and he’ll never face accusers
now drugs and booze have won
because his world stopped
he’s not going anywhere
oh yeah his world stops
but who will really care?
and here I stand, a witness to his end
no words between us
and I must be his final friend

don’t wanna do this
don’t wanna do this
don’t wanna do this any more
don’t wanna do this
don’t wanna do this
don’t wanna do this any more
don’t wanna do this
don’t wanna do this
I don’t wanna do this any more
don’t wanna do this
I don’t wanna do this
don’t wanna do this any more
