Admit Your Emotions - Sadness

When a friendship dies but the person is not gone,
Strong feelings of sadness and grief tend to linger on.
You've already apologized so you're side of the street is cleansed.
They say it's because your "mentally unstable" but you know the truth.
They can't be around you anymore because their codependency doesn't know what to do.

So they bad mouth you to their friends so they come out smelling clean.
They deny any wrong doing and make you look unclean.
Their friends shout, "Get away quickly while you still can!"
So your friend jumps in the water and swims as fast as she can.

She doesn't have the decency to tell you it's her own fault,
To tell you it's her own issues that caused your heart to jolt.
Instead she blames you, lies to herself, and to others.
Her therapist, her friends, her pastor and daughter.

So what do you do when someone swims away?
You make sure you follow through on the conciliation process before they get away.
Cause even if the friendship is not meant to be,
Let there be peace...and let her swim free.

Lyrics:

Where there is love there is a peace
And in the cages that bind the bitter heart it is release
Hold it close to your chest, let it move and let it rest
For it is here to set your mind at ease
Where there is love there is a peace

Where there is hope there is a dream
To rise above, to remit and to redeem
To go back, to go where there's no hurt or anger there
To find the song that you once could sing
Where there is hope there is a dream

Where there is faith there is a chance
To alter the course and fight the winds of circumstance
Not to scar, but to mend, not to break, but to bend
And not to know but to understand
Where there is faith there is a chance
Where there is hope there is a dream
Where there is love there is a peace
