lyrics

my friend, my friend, have i been so hard on you
that you don’t even know my name?
you know i know that i acted like a fool
and for that i’ll take the blame
but we were young and i was so dumb
i can’t believe i let my greed lead me astray
now i’m in tatters, i’m mad as a hatter
and i regret it every single day

my friend, my friend, did you not promise to be true
only to turn and walk away
i know you know that you really were quite cruel
and i cannot forget those days
we were in love, as below then so above
in the hell fires of desire we fanned the flames
my heart is broken, words are left unspoken
and wasted time can never be reclaimed

do i need you, or do i just need this need for you?
am i really just addicted to your sympathy?
are the honest truthful roots of my anxiety
glued to my projections of you?

my friend, my friend, what more can i do?
i thought some day we’d make amends
but time goes by and i can see this isn’t true
and we may never meet again
i never planned this, and goddamn it
i’m pining for the way things used to be
there’s no returning, the bridges are all burning
and i’m staring at a wide and endless sea

but do i need you, or do i just need this need for you?
am i really just addicted to your company?
are the honest truthful roots of my identity
glued to my projections of you?

my friend, my friend, have i been so hard on you
that you don’t even know my name?
