Sometimes friendship ain't enough.

Lyrics

Nine Little Days © 2011 Ken Kahn

Nine little days till we talk again so I think about the kind of friend
I've tried to be and that you've always longed for
This little world has a lot of curves and you lean into them 'cause you've got the nerve
And you're the one I wanted to be strong for.

Nine little days to change my state of mind - Open these old eyes or continue to be blind
Just like a fool who plays at make-believe -The truth can set you free, unless you choose to stay behind

Yeah, it affects my mental health when I see how much I kid myself
And realize the lengths that I have gone to
Nine little days till I hear your voice and I'll likely go and lose my poise
When I blurt out all the tender things I want to

Nine little days may have me on my knees - Time to take my meds or succumb to this disease
Rack my brains to find the words to say - This is not enough for me, so baby please -

Don't judge, don't act like nothing's changed, just bring an open heart and open mind
Maybe my words won't seem so strange, maybe you'll realize this is our time

Nine little days till we talk again, I know that you remember when
You said I was the only one who knows you
Stood by you through thick and thin and every time you went back to him
But this time I could use a little closure.

Nine little days to alter destiny - See what might hiding behind door number three
Only a fool would hide their love away - I will gather courage up for nine more days.

Nine little days till we talk again, I know that you remember when
You said I was the only one who knows you.
Nine little days, um-hmmm...
