[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Tell me, is it always gonna be sad now?
I tell ya never come back, man
Why it always gotta end like that, huh?
Why does it always—
I was angry but I oughta be glad, 'cause
You were holding me back
But every single thing eventually passes, uh
Bought a ticket only going one way, ah
And now I live in L.A.
Know I had to go as far as I could go
You know, you know
Yeah, I'm finally doin' somethin' myself now
I had to think of my health now
I heard you wasn't doing so well
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I know it don't make it right
I still wanna wish you good
When I'm sayin' my prayers tonight
I think I'm gonna add you
No, I don't wanna see your face
And I don't wanna make amends
But you were once my friend
Oh, and you were once my friend
[Verse 2]
Let the sun and the moon and sky separate us
Let's leave all our mixed emotions in the past
'Cause I'm doin' so good living in this pop star heaven
And if I see you again, it would only bring me down
[Chorus]
Ooh, and I know it don't make it right
I still wanna wish you good
When I'm sayin' my prayers tonight
I think I'm gonna add you
No, I don't wanna see your face
And I don't wanna make amends
But you were once my friend
Oh, you were once my friend
[Bridge]
So where does the love go after the love dies?
Where do the lovers go, oh, after the love dies?
And where does the love go after the love dies?
Where does the love go, oh, after the love dies?
[Chorus]
And I know it don't make it right
I still wanna wish you good
When I'm sayin' my prayers tonight
I think I'm gonna add you
No, I don't wanna see your face
And I don't wanna make amends
But you were once my friend
Yeah, you were once my friend
[Outro]
And I know it don't make it right
I still wanna wish you good
When I'm sayin' my prayers tonight
I think I'm gonna add you
No, I don't wanna see your face
And I don't wanna make amends
But you were once my friend
