Lyrics

My Friend

If you were still my friend, why’d you go after what I’m after?
I was so down and out. Why’d you laugh at me chasing after?
If I were you, would I do the same - well, I don’t know - would I?
If I were you, you know I couldn’t do it. I would die.

I was just the chip you played to get you where you’re going.
You took the keys to the car I’m driving - just without me knowing.
I’ve seen the tricks up your sleeve - to use me up.
And still you won’t just come clean. I’ve had enough!

All the while you keep on saying again and again you’re my friend.

Together, both up and down through years of thick and thin.
They always warned me that your mind was fixed on something.
You say you said what’s true, but since it’s not the whole truth you’re just lying.
Shaking all those hands too much, your wrist is limp from trying.

Your fake tears don’t mean so much 'cause you’re not crying.
When I spilled my heart, my blood - you went hiding.

All the while you keep on saying again and again you’re my friend.
All this time I was just a means to an end - my friend.

If I were you would I do the same - well, I don’t know - would I?
If I were you, you know I couldn’t do it. I would die.

All the while you keep on saying again and again you’re my friend.
All this time I was just a means to an end - my friend.
