Ripped Friendship Flag

Why Friend, are you friends with my enemy?
Does that mean you are not the friend of me?
Does it mean you trade secrets like spies?
Does it mean you spill words as lies?
 
Why Friend, are you staring there at me?
What are you thinking looking at me hatefully?
Does it mean you no longer feel the same?
Does it mean you look away in shame?
 
Why are you so silent now?
What has happened and how?
Where does this leave us?
What happened to trust?
Why are you walking away?
What words will make you stay?
Shall I just let you go?
I do not know
I do not know
 
I tried so hard to sail this sinking ship
It's going down too fast
Just a friendship flag for a sail that has a rip
and I know that it won't last
 
Why Friend, are you friends with my enemy?
Does it mean you no longer care for me?
Does it mean you laugh behind my back?
Talking about everything that I lack?
 
Why Friend, are you bad mouthing me?
What are those words you keeping saying?
Does this mean nothing we had is worth it?
Are you walking away, did you quit?
 
Why are you so silent now?
What has happened and how?
Where does this leave us?
What happened to trust?
Why are you walking away?
What words will make you stay?
Shall I just let you go?
I do not know
I do not know
I tried so hard to sail this sinking ship
It's going down too fast
Just a friendship flag for a sail that has a rip
and I know that it won't last
There's a storm out there tearing us apart
too many waves crashing 'round
and I am sinking with my broken heart
while you never make a sound
 
Why are you so silent now?
What has happened and how?
Why are you walking away?
What words will make you stay?
Shall I just let you go?
I think I must let you go
