Over Nothing - Hoodoo Gurus

Some friendships end out of hate

And hasty words spoken in anger

A rush of blood to the head

The swords are drawn in heated battle

But when the feuding has passed

It leaves no-one unscathed

Only wounded

Some friendships end from neglect

A thoughtless mind’s preoccupation

They cannot hope to survive

Amid busy lives of self-obsession

And so must wither and die

That’s how some friendships end

But not this one

No, not this one

Knowing you the way I do

I truly believed that somehow we’d pull through

Hadn’t we both seen it all?

We faced the world, together we stood tall

Together we stood tall

You and I stood tall

Some friendships end in regret

A trust betrayed, too freely given

That is the worst way they end

But then some friendships end

Over nothing

Over nothing

Though it’s true not all friendships last

I always thought that ours was different

You brought the best out in me

How did our friendship end?

How did it ever end

Over nothing?

Over nothing?
