The End for Us (Acoustic)

It's amazing what begins
When another great thing ends
I'm so happy with our friends
And how I'd like to share it with you
It's been too long
Don't think I forgot
How could it slip my mind to write a song about you?

We met as broken skeletons, but quickly became the best of friends
The world did see as we hiked its hills and wandered endlessly
Then we met her and life was grand, but one thing I didn't understand
Is why suddenly you pulled away without one excuse to say

I will admit I was ticked off
But since when is that unusual?
Now life is hot, and I am not
So I'm leaving this all in the past

I'd still buy you a ticket to the water park
And swing with you for hours after dark
Or take you home when it's too late to roam
Left, right, straight, every which way back home
I miss you, but I will not cry
No, I won't shed these tears you dried
You were there through my worst
And when the best came around you lifted like a curse
Upon our family
We never asked for it to be
And we can say we tried, but we can't seem to find someone to fill the void that
You left behind

I often toy with the notion that you had feelings for me
Maybe you were just a little salty, and to that I could concede
Or maybe you didn't swing that way, and hey, no judgement here
But when our third found a good boy and love was in Bloom
Yours started to waver and that spelled the end for us

Oh, how could it be?
That such a tight knit little group was tearing at the very seams
And it seems
You don't want to be here anymore
So I'll stop knocking at your door
But I just want you to know

I'd still buy you a ticket to the water park
And swing with you for hours after dark
Or take you home when it's too late to roam
Left, right, straight, every which way back home
I'd ditch a show on a Wednesday night
To get some cheap wings at the pub down the street with you
And laugh and catch up on our lives just like we used to do

Just like we used to do
