God Get Your Own Bestfriend

Wrote a song for my baby girl who passed away last year.

This song was recorded with a single mic at Pete's house in Wellington, & is the first of a short collection of songs I've written that didn't quite fit with the next upcoming Departure Party Album, but I felt I couldn't bench them and still wanted to share them with you all.

Lots of love
Jojo
lyrics
young & energetic, till old & grey
Fourteen years, half my life slipped away
I hold you in my arms, as your body shakes
Goodbyes are hard, & harder still when there's nothing left to say

But I always knew that this was all the time we'd get
Still, I can't help but think, God, get your own best friend

What was best for me, was not for you & so you slide
Always with me, I wish I could believe that precious lie
still thinking of you fills me with a certain kind of warmth, that gives me the sense that I need to cry

But I always knew that this was all the time we'd get
Still, I can't help but think, God, get your own best friend
yes I always knew that this was all the time we'd get
Still, I can't help but think, God, get your own damn best friend
