Friends Became Strangers

Nobody was up when things changed
In the winter of 2004
And neighbors knocked on walls as I sang
Of a distance too far to ignore
Hollywood was just a train ride
That led me to feeling alone
Talking on the phone to my heart
Where I learned that no house would be home

I was alone, not lonely
Each song I sang for her only

So we fought for what mattered
And we left our mark in this town
But somewhere my friends became strangers to me

So the band drove up to L.A.
And we played like a child does his chores
Hoping like most fools in this town
Our dreams laid behind sunsets door

Yeah but days they turned into weeks
And in just a year we forgot who we were
Living in a house where we grew apart
And we knew that more than our songs were rehearsed

But then she came
And saved me
But I know that year was what made me

When we fought for what mattered
We left our mark in this town
But somewhere my friends became strangers

Don't you shake
Shake your head
At these truths
You've chosen your drug to serve
Just the way I chose her

Ahhhh Ahhh Ahh
Ahhhh Ahhh Ahh
Ahhhh Ahhh Ahh
Ahhhh Ahhh Ahh

Somewhere, my friends became strangers to me
