So Called New Friends Hangers On and What Happens Afterwards

Sorry , My friend and confident of days old Do not fret Regret is wasted until the cost is met I still hold you in high regard I still remember you covered in your mothers make-up And sitting on the naughty step Until Fame and success took hold of you Before Everybody grew through you Not beside or along with you You lifted while those around you stole 1 piece at a time a part of your soul Hanging on to your coattails tooth and nail Riding the gravy train for all it's worth What on earth happened to you my friend Fame and success has been unkind to you And this is written not in pursuit of envy or jealousy Rather than to remind you 1 day When all is said and done Down in the dumps out of luck And your so called friends have abandoned you You will realize I never gave up or left you Cast aspersions or judged you All I ever wanted was my best friend back And to go back to having Sleep Over's When we used to tell and share everything I didn't loose a friend I lost my sister
