When did you....stop?
By Rachel Spellman

You ask me how things are going
Like you had no way of knowing
Just had to pick up the phone and call
Instead you are building a sturdy brick wall
Between two friends
Who've seen each other through beginnings and ends

We promised to always look out for each other
Now I find myself desperetly seeking another
Someone who answers their cell phone
Who knows when its best if Im not left alone
When they know that Im hurting and can barely get up
They take time  and call just to ask me whats up
When did you.... stop?

I can understand you have your own life to be tending
And my broken heart isnt yours to be mending
But if you said you needed someone to be strong
Id be right by your side all along

And if you asked me for my last prayer
Id never leave the suggestion in the air

We promised to always look out for each other
Now I find myself desperetly seeking another
Someone who answers their cell phone
Who knows when its best if im not left alone
When they know that im hurting and can barely get up
They take time and call just to ask me whats up
When did you.... stop?

I suppose that Im just being selfish
Or maybe its just that im jealous
But I think I deserve more than this

Friends are more special than lovers
Though we dont get wild under the covers
We laugh and we share
And we'll always be there
We're almost as caring as mothers

When did you.... stop?
