lyrics

Time ticks by
bringing us close
To another dose of
disappointed smiles

You say we're 'friends'
A funny little word you toss around
I guess it depends on what he needs from you

Cuz if all you are
is this burnt-out star
then I'll take my resentment another way
Like to his face

I'm down and out but it won't be long
till I'll be that guy that gets you down
cuz' I don't need this

But you say we're friends
The kind that always call an hour too late
I guess it depends
baby, I pretend

Y'don't have what it takes
to truly appreciate
all the ways this union is killing you
and the result so far
is this mess that you are
and you'll leave these scars on each other's face
and be replaced...

Cuz breakneck speeds go words through the armour that brings us down to our knees.
Time, of course, is everythin' now that we're beyond sympathies
'Cuz one mis-step and another false statement will turn ya into enemies
Oh, One mis-step, another false statement

he didn't know
No he didn't know
He just didn't know
I could hear him
He didn't know
No he didn't know
He just didn't know
I could hear him
Hear him
Hear this
I bear this and turn ya into
enemies, I'd Hear this
Hear this
