Emergency Evacuations

It's great when you have someone to confide in 
She's the one I'll always call on when the stakes get high
but lately things have been rocky like a boat in a tornado 
The person I used to know is changing right under my noes
Were so close that people should call us Siamese's twins
where ever one of us goes the other follows
But lately our friendship has been sinking 
I guess maybe too much time together can cause internal bleeding
I never would would have thought I'd get annoyed without her even speaking
It's like I'm physic all of a sudden and I can read her mind 
There is nothing new and no more surprises 
and sometimes I feel like our friendship is at it's demise
Maybe all we need is some chill pill time 
A vacation away from each other so that we can both unwind
Because lately I've found myself getting a little explosive 
A few choice words that I say intentionally so that they'll hurt
yet it makes me feel worse to see the daggers reach their destination
I didn't really mean to cause all of this devastation
All it ever seems like we do anymore is argue 
Our differences never used to amount to this much weight before
Or maybe than we didn't care 
We were such carefree teenagers than 
I'm not saying that were getting old or anything 
But the heavy load of the world is starting to lean on my shin 
But I would never give in on this friendship
I just think I need some time away from you
So I can soak up some of life's juices 
without you handing me a tissue
