i heard a girl say 'that's how old my baby would be'
i could tell she was livin' on broken dreams
my homegirl (i'm here if u need me)

but if you were to see her from afar
you would think all was okay
she has no regrets for the life she gave away
my best friend (smiles while her heart cries)

only if you get too close
do you feel the sorrow and pain
or if you look close, you'll see
her eyes seek a life gone away

she is a friend of mine
and I have to wonder if
she'll ever be fine
('cause life goes on)
