Six Years Later

from Less Than Three by Marjorie Halloran

/

lyrics

We were young, perhaps naîve
We were scared, we were lonely, with no one who believed
We were lost and needed to be found
And when we met each other, everything turned around

And it was good, it was right
It was so perfect and beautiful and it made our darkness bright
We had each other to help us find our way
And even though there was no romance, we loved each other anyway

One year later, so many things we'd shared
Two years later, so many times we'd cared
Three years later, we were growing up
Four years later, we knew our friendship would never stop
Five years later, things were better than ever
They asked us if we'd still be friends, and we said forever
We were the best thing, and nothing could go wrong
Six years later you were gone

How can it be that we're through?
Was it something that I said or did, or was it mostly you?
How could you be so full of hate
When just a week before, you called me soulmate?

I'll admit, it was a surprise
Did you do it on the phone so you couldn't look into my eyes?
So you couldn't see my pain?
Because you couldn't look at me and say,
"I never want to see you again"?

One year later, so many things we'd shared
Two years later, so many times we'd cared
Three years later, we were growing up
Four years later, we knew our friendship would never stop
Five years later, things were better than ever
They asked us if we'd still be friends, and we said forever
We were the best thing, and nothing could go wrong
Six years later you were gone

You could have had the decency to give me a clue
Instead of merely saying "it isn't me, it's you"
I guess it was stupid of me to believe
That a best friend should mean anything

I hope you're happy where you are
I hope you love your new house, new boyfriend, and new car
I hope your life is as perfect as can be
And I hope you're hurting twice as much as you hurt me

One year later, so many things we'd shared
Two years later, so many times we'd cared
Three years later, we were growing up
Four years later, we knew our friendship would never stop
Five years later, things were better than ever
They asked us if we'd still be friends, and we said forever
We were the best thing, and nothing could go wrong
Six years later you were gone
