Story behind the song
Us Canada relations. Sad when old friends stop communicating
Lyrics
V1 We used to be friends We said "to the end" A cart and it's wheels Like concrete and steel How we'd think, how we'd feel We used to be friends V2 You had my back and I had yours A Difference in pride Was nothing to hide We laughed til we cried We used to be friends Ch Don't get me wrong It's good to be strong But empathy dies When smothered in lies V3 We used to be friends And may be again But someone let go It happened so slow How could it end We used to be friends Ch V3
