Hello, old friend
Yes, it's been a while
Is that a frown
Instead of your usual smile?
Don't be put off
It's no put on
I'll try to explain it in this song

I fought this war
But you couldn't have known
Went on this journey
Now I'm finally home
I found no why
But I did find who I am
And this is who I'll be
The best I can

So...
Don't be sad
Just be glad
It's the only choice I ever had
No one to blame
For how I've changed
Though to you this must seem so very strange
I'm sorry to have caused you any difficulty
But I am still your friend
The same new me

Goodbye, old friend
Yes, it's hard to accept
I had my hopes
But I didn't know what to expect
There is no why
There's only who I am
And this is who I'll be
As best I can

So...
Don't be sad
For me, be glad
It's the only choice I ever had
And there's no shame
In how I've changed
Yeah, but to you this must seem so very strange
I'm sorry that I'll never make you see
That I am still your friend
The same new me
I will always be your friend
The same new me

Goodbye, old friend
