Well I've got some friends that need my help
I find 'em belly up in pain laying where they fell
Clinging to a box of their lovers things
Whether a letter or a picture or a promise or a ring
But I've got some friends that help me too
When I kill myself to win
Yeah they help me lose
They've seen me at my best and they've seen me at my worst
Helped me through the heartache and the following thirst
But oh, it's something I take too hard
But that's doesn't set me apart
Oh, if heartache doesn't last
It sure does take its time to pass
Oh I've done some things that I regret
Yeah I stole a lot of money and I owe a lot of debt
My heart was filled with lust and my heart was filled with greed
But I gave it all away and I finally came clean
'Cus I learned my lesson far too late
To be quick to forgive and slow to hate
Yeah, I burned a lot of bridges when I was still young
Now I'm working to repair all the damage I've done
But oh, it's something I take too hard
But that's doesn't set me apart
Oh, if heartache doesn't last
It sure does take its time to pass
It sure does take it's time to pass
Now I write stories and I sing songs
I put pen to paper to write my wrongs
But I keep it separated from the rest of my life
'Cus I'm starting to believe that I'll never find a wife
'Cus I've done some damage that I can't fix, year
There's oil in the water and there's blood in the mix
And lately I've been thinking I don't know what I'll do
But I've got some friends that help me through
