Phil Gawen - This Friend Lyrics

First time you said you were all best friends
It came straight from the heart, through thick and thin
Though every year seem tougher than the rest
Differences were nasty. Fought each other's fears
And you always seem to make up in the end

And now you've gotten so tired of your faults
You thought you'd mastered self-control and failed
All those evils bottled up inside
One day they would reach out
And grab you by the neck
Who would mend the pieces in the end

I remember you laughing and joking
And playing in harmony
I recall how you'd always be open
And honest and Helpful
Time is unbearable, when you're faking love
It was inevitable that it all came down to

This friend, had enough of this
Brainstorm child has awoken to a new reality
This friend will make a stand
With a bias heart, wrapped up in trivialities
This friend, takes it all so serious
And buys a first class ticket to anonymity
This friend, that one gets the rope
She's the one who started it
And can't make any sense of it

All those little secrets stored on shelves
One way to a kill is just to tell. One by one by
Justice can be any point of view
Strangling the trust, hurting with your thrust
An eye for an eye 'till the whole world is blinded

I recall how you tried to be open
And honest and helpful
Sticks and stones won't break our bones
But tongues can break necks

Time is unbearable, faking trust
It was inevitable that it all came down to

This friend
