Journey of Friendship and Loss: Hurricane Like Me's Emotional Tale
Lyrics
You were a friend, when I needed one the most
You provided support and companionship when I needed it the most.
Drive around town, music real loud, sharing a bottle and some smokes
We spent time together driving around, enjoying loud music, and sharing a bottle and cigarettes.
I wish that I could go back there look me in the eyes and tell me you're doing fine
I wish to go back to that time, where you could assure me that you are doing well by looking into my eyes.
We were just friends, but now you're taking off your dress
Initially, our relationship was that of friends, but now it has evolved to a more intimate level.
Never thought we'd lose it all
Unexpectedly, we find ourselves losing everything we had.
So here we are, we're moving on
We are moving forward despite the challenges.
Another year lost, another friend gone, another one found along the way
