A friendship gained, a friendship lost
Sometimes it grows, sometimes it falls apart
A fact of life is letting go
Some things need to die in order for you to grow

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
You really have to consider the cost
Some people are for you, some are against you
Some want to get to know you, others want nothing to do with you

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
Sometimes you know when it’s time to let go
They say one thing, but do another
Seeing them causes you to relive your trauma

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
This little friendship is all but lost
We were close once, but we are no longer
I don’t know where we went wrong, but it feels wrong 
This dynamic is toxic to me

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
It’s time to say goodbye to this little lie
I don’t need you, and I don’t want you
It causes me too much pain to maintain

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
It’s time to say goodbye, I’m letting go
I called you a friend once, but it was only a myth
This is the end of our sad story
You say you miss me, but do you really?

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
I long ago considered the cost
We’re different now, you and I
It’s time for me to let it go
Goodbye, so long
I would call you friend, but that would be a lie
You were never anything but a fake friend to me

A friendship gained, a friendship lost
You and I we’ve grown distant, you and I we’ve grown apart
I gave you my loyalty once, but you threw it back at me
But I can’t, I can’t do this anymore
It’s been a long time since this was anything other than a pretense
It’s time for me to let go
To stop holding onto something that no longer exists
I’m letting go
A friendship dies

I AM FREE
