lyrics
I could be your friend,
But we both know, it's at an end.
There are things that I regret,
and every day now, I can't forget.
So is it a series of mistakes,
that keeps me here, and you away
And I know, yes I know
I closed an open door
I've burned some bridges
trying to find my way.
And I'll go, and I'll try
To make them all smile,
But what's the point in living
If this life don't change.
I wish that I could be a man,
That could have all love for all I am
But every stranger that I meet,
I fear can't possibly see me.
But I guess that this is what you get,
When you hide away, or pretend.
And I know, yes I know
I closed an open door
I've burned some bridges
trying to find my way.
And I'll go, and I'll try
To make them all smile,
But what's the point in living
If this life don't change.
I tried to look inside a soul my friend.
With nothing to show but my fears again.
Well who am I, with selfish eyes, my dear.
When it won't matter and will disappear...in the end..
