about

When a close friend moves on.

lyrics

We never see you around these days, pastures new, to coin a phrase
The warmth of old now seems so cold, no moss gathered, your stone has rolled
Submerged into your relationship, like an iceberg, can’t even see the tip
Where did all that friendship go? Now I’m just some fool you used to know

He’s the kind that wants control, trophy wife, baby, beware your soul
Full of himself and no one else, trying hard to be cool, but we ain’t fooled
Of course you love him, but beware the line, don’t leave all your good friends behind
Don’t neglect the seeds you sowed: now I’m just some old fool you used to know
He don’t like us that’s for sure
We got nothing he can procure
We get the feeling he’s turning you
Against good friends who once helped you through

It’s gonna be some cloudy weather, sunshine doesn’t last forever
Once close friends, is this how our friendship ends?
Your life has changed but I’m still here, how did all that warmth disappear?
Don’t reject the seeds you sowed: now I’m just some old fool you used to know

I’ve had fair shares of love and strife
It ain’t as if I’ve not had a life
Been a fool since I left school
But there’s no fool like an old fool

We never see you around these days, pastures new, to coin a phrase
The warmth of old now seems so cold, no moss gathered, your stone has rolled
Your life has changed but we’re still here, how did all that warmth disappear?
We’ll wrap up warm while your cold winds blow,
Till you’re just someone we used to know
Yes, wrap up warm while your cold winds blow,
Till you’re just someone we used to know
