[Verse] My best friend started dating a man with a golden crooked smile He pulled her close and said why don’t you just stay for awhile I stood in the shadow of their relationships loves new bright spark It caused me to start Fading slowly like a flame that is quietly dying in the nights dark [Chorus] I watch my friend as you are slipping through my hands like fine sand You are Caught up in the worlds sinful tide that I can barely even withstand Now all I’m left with is fading memories that i seem to be failing to find And devoted yet pleading prayers to God For some Peace of mind [Verse 2] He speaks in sly charming ways I will never be able to learn His words are like the rivers that charmingly twist and then turn She laughs at these jokes that i do not think I will ever get But Her light is a glow of love that I will not easily forget [Chorus] I watch my friend as you are slipping through my hands like fine sand You are Caught up in the worlds sinful tide that I can barely even withstand Now all I’m left with is fading memories that i seem to be failing to find And devoted yet pleading prayers to God For some Peace of mind Verse 3] He purposely built a wall between you and me You called it your wonderful shared love I called it nothing but beautiful debris I am watching as you slowly fade like the sunsets stunning dimming light As he pulled you further and further from me and deeper into his sin filled world's darkest night [Bridge] The voices in my head grow louder everyday They keep echoing her name But all These Memories of our friendship play like a broken, sad, Slow refrain I am trying hard not to lose her But it looks like she is already gone Leaving me with nothing but shadows to lean upon [Chorus] I watch my friend as you are slipping through my hands like fine sand You are Caught up in the worlds sinful tide that I can barely even withstand Now all I’m left with is fading memories that i seem to be failing to find And devoted yet pleading prayers to God For some Peace of mind Outro] I have been walking these streets all these years thinking i was alone A ghost in this chaotic world always thinking I was on my own Your face it lingers in the clouds shapes inside the bluest skies up above Your memory still is haunting me Showing me the cost of a true friendships love [Last Chorus] I watch my friend as you are slipping through my hands like fine sand You are Caught up in the worlds sinful tide that I can barely even withstand Now all I’m left with is fading memories that i seem to be failing to find And devoted yet pleading prayers to God For some Peace of mind
