When We Were Friends

so many nights, i've lied awake
 thinking of the time it takes to grow up
 listening to everything our parents say
 they know will bring us fortunes
 i know i've waited for this forever i know it
 but now it's here and i am scared to go out on my own
 and i pray that you will be
 with me forever and ever right here by my side
 holding me closer and closer
 and if we separate please don't forget the days
 when we were friends when we were friends
 time flies by so fast you notice you forget
 the most important things in life
 we make mistakes throughout our time
 we forgive those who cause us strife and harm us
 i'm here and now i'm wishing we were little kids again
 and we could be as carefree as when we first met
 and i pray that you will be
 with me forever and ever
 right here by my side
 holding me closer and closer
 and if we separate please don't forget the days
 when we were friends when we were friends
 here we stand with our future in our hands
 we'll decide our fate and make our plans
 it's not goodbye but see you later
 look forward to and please wait to meet again
 the memories we've made will be in my heart don't forget me
 i'll miss you
 i've learned so much being with you
 i hope you feel the same way too
 though time will pass our love will last
 a lifetime through and throughout
 and i pray that you will be
 with me forever and ever right here by my side
 holding me closer and closer
 and if we separate please don't forget the days
 when we were friends when we were friends
