Roses From My Friends |
I could have treated you better |
But you couldn’t have treated me worse |
But it’s he who laughs last |
Is he who cries first |
Sometimes I feel I know strangers |
Better than I know my friends |
Why must a beginning |
Be the means to an end |
The stones from my ennemies |
These wounds will mend |
But I cannot survive |
The roses from my friends |
When the last word has been spoken |
(And) we’ve beared witness to the final setting sun |
All that shall remains is a token |
Of what we’ve said and done |
When all we’ve had has been forsaken |
Distant church bells no longer ring |
That’s the sound of a heart taken |
And the story of tears from a king |
The stones from my ennemies |
These wounds will mend |
But I cannot survive |
The roses from my friends |
This may be the last time I see you |
Forgive me for holding you close |
This may be the last time I see you |
So of this moment I will make the most |
This may be the last time I see you |
But if you keep me in your heart |
Together we shall be eternal |
If you believe we shall never part |
The stones from my ennemies |
These wounds will mend |
But I cannot survive |
The stones from my ennemies |
These wounds will mend |
But I cannot survive |
I cannot survive |
Oh- I cannot survive |
The roses from my friends |
