(with Lauren Kennedy, Sarah Stiles)
|
Three pretty girls in a schoolyard,
|
Playin' games and makin' noise
|
You would think they had been best friends forever
|
Talkin' algebra and boys
|
|
They were each of them after the big brass ring
|
So they swore they'd never be apart
|
And if it rang a little false...
|
Still, it was said with all their heart
|
|
Laughing, dancing,
|
Off on a spree!
|
No one knew that none of it meant a thing...
|
But friendship isn't what it used to be
|
|
Three college girls at the movies
|
Falling hard for Steve McQueen
|
You would think that they had so much in common
|
If you stumbled on the scene
|
|
Then you peel back the layers of teenage ties
|
And a lot of what they shared is gone
|
We left each other far behind
|
And never noticed we moved on
|
|
Life flows, time flies
|
Spirits roam free
|
No one says it and nothing dies
|
But friendship isn't what it used to be
|
|
Wouldnt you know some of us grow
|
Some of us stay the way we are
|
And love burns out after making it so far
|
|
Three women stuck at a crossroads,
|
At a loss to reconnect...
|
You would think them a mess of contradictions,
|
And for once you'd be correct
|
|
It's apparent that none of us made the grade
|
But at least not in the way we planned
|
But how we lost our common ground
|
Is what I'll never understand
|
|
Years race, lives change,
|
Makes sense to me...
|
Why the hell should it feel so strange?
|
All relationships rearranged!
|
And the fact is, some friends don't fade
|
Some... You never see.
|
|
Make your peace with the choices made,
|
Swallow hard at the price you've paid...
|
|
But friendship...
|
Isn't what it used to be.
