Anyone who's ever had a good friend knows this is true.
See farther down the list for Colleen's wonderful demo.
V1
We were best friends all through grade school
Brave explorers in the park
Built a fort down by the river
She was Lewis, I was Clark
Then her Daddy got a new job
First time I encountered fate
I learned something about friendship
I did not anticipate
Ch
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts if you do it right
V2
Jennie stormed in like a SWAT team
We shared books and boys and beer
Listening to her secrets
Was like looking in the mirror
She stayed on to get her master’s
I took a job out on the coast
When I hear two girlfriends laughing
That’s when I miss her the most
Ch
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts if you do it right
V3
I’ve had coffee with Mary Ann
Twice a week for thirty years
We’ve had every conversation
About marriage and careers
She’s the kind of friend who gets me
It took years to build this trust
She’s been gone about a month now
And it’s hard to readjust
Ch
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts if you do it right
Br
Dive in or hold back?
You have to decide
’Cause friendship hurts if you do it right
Ch
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts
Friendship hurts if you do it right

Moving tribute to female friendship. You make a good point that good friendship hurts the most when it's gone.
