over nothing

hoodoo gurus

some friendships end out of hate

and hasty words spoken in anger

a rush of blood to the head

the swords are drawn in heated battle

but when the feuding has passed

it leaves no-one unscathed

only wounded

some friendships end from neglect

a thoughtless mind's preoccupation

they cannot hope to survive

amid busy lives of self-obsession

and so must wither and die

that's how some friendships end

but not this one

no

not this one

knowing you the way i do

i truly believed that somehow we'd pull through

hadn't we both seen it all?

we faced the world

together we stood tall

together we stood tall

you and i stood tall

some friendships end in regret

a trust betrayed

too freely given

that is the worst way they end

but then some friendships end

over nothing

over nothing

though it's true not all friendships last

i always thought that ours was different

you brought the best out in me

how did our friendship end?

how did it ever end

over nothing?

over nothing?
