Friends come and go

They ain't meant to last

You could aim for the future

But they remain in the past

A life lesson to be learnt at an early age

But you learn it too late so it's accompanied with rage

Hundreds of students and people you pass while going through life

You try to help who you can but still feel the pain from the knife

Friends you've known forever and you helped grow and helped change

But now it's time to be helped and not a soul still remains

It's these lessons that helps you learn the rise to the top

I'm the tree forever growing

You're the lumberjack who forever chops

This ain't a stab at nobody, I can't stab while I bleed

My memories are what's damaging

I'm just trying to be freed

Life sure is a test and

all you can do is watch as it rips things away

you must learn to cope in the end

Because nothing can stay
