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. Lyric by Dawn Sinclair and everything else by me. (Dawn's words about the song)
Final Friend.
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 only 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
etc to end...
