Lyrics
My Friend

Sometimes that hardest thing that you can ever do
Is find a way to live a life of always being true
I don't wanna be another person you resent
I hope when this is over we're both happy in the end
As I write this song I look back
At failed relationships that I've had
The good, the bad, the ugly
The happy, the sad, the trusting
So many people I've met in my life
So many different streaks of light
And personality types
It gets hard to try and keep track
Likе: Why did it end, was it all bad?
Why was she mad, why did he quit?
It's not just womеn I've lost to life's grips
Friends, colleagues, all the same
Relationships were meant to change
I guess that's life what can you do?
But try your best to remain true
So, I do my job as a friend and son
To mean what I say and do what I love
Sometimes that hardest thing that you can ever do
Is find a way to live a life of always being true
I don't wanna be another person you resent
I hope when this is over we're both happy in the end
My friend, I wrote this song for you
It's hard to be me, it's hard to be you
It's hard to be us, there's not enough room
Inside of the lives we chose
Goodbyes are mellow but so are hellos
Yellow and blue are the hues of the truth
The valley is green, but what will we do?
When forests catch fire and it's one for all
I'd like to believe I'd be there when you call
My friend, I wrote this song for you
Sometimes that hardest thing that you can ever do
Is find a way to live a life of always being true
I don't wanna be another person you resent
I hope when this is over we're both happy in the end
My friend, I wrote this song for you
