CHORUS
Been watching the grass grow
Counting the flowers
Listening to birds sing
For hours and hours
Focused on forgetting
How we were such good friends
Remembering beginings
Feeling how this ends

VERSE 1
Been making me wonder
What life's all about
When a friend who's so close
Is suddenly out
Joined the devil's army
A slave to crack cocaine
Really makes me wonder
If I dare to love again

VERSE 2
Life can be so painful
When you get stabbed from behind
Love can make you wonder
If we're all really blind
Don't see a loved one's problems
'Til they slap you in the face
Makes me really wonder
Where we've failed the human race

CHORUS
Been watching the grass grow
Counting the flowers
Listening to birds sing
For hours and hours
Focused on forgetting
How we were such good friends
Remembering beginings
Hurting as this ends

VERSE 3
Now I've really lost you
You might as well have died
While that demon's your best friend
I can't be at your side
Some day soon the dreams will stop
My thoughts will turn away
I can't believe we've come to this
And now I have to say

VERSE 4
What happened to friends always
Are you finding what you want
In the devil's tortured hallways
Of the house of hell you haunt
You should have been a lifelong friend
But you chose to give your soul
Up to the demon crack cocaine
You play a deadly role

CHORUS
Been watching the grass grow
Counting the flowers
Listening to birds sing
For hours and hours
Focused on forgetting
How we were such good friends
Remembering beginings
Hurting as this ends
