Over Nothing

(album: Purity Of Essence - 2010)

Some friendships end out of hate
And hasty words spoken in anger
A rush of blood to the head
The swords are drawn in heated battle
But when the feuding has passed
It leaves no-one unscathed
Only wounded

Some friendships end from neglect
A thoughtless mind's preoccupation
They cannot hope to survive
Amid busy lives of self-obsession
And so must wither and die
That's how some friendships end
But not this one
No, not this one

Knowing you the way I do
I truly believed that somehow we'd pull through
Hadn't we both seen it all?
We faced the world, together we stood tall
Together we stood tall
You and I stood tall

Some friendships end in regret
A trust betrayed, too freely given
That is the worst way they end
But then some friendships end
Over nothing
Over nothing

Though it's true not all friendships last
I always thought that ours was different
You brought the best out in me
How did our friendship end?
How did it ever end
Over nothing?
Over nothing?
