Lyrics
Friends That Break Your Heart
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have haunted many photographs
In the background and the fore
And as many loves that have crossed my path
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart
Fair dues nobody prepares you
And nobody's prepared, nobody's prepared
And they tell you: Just you wait
It kills you, and only love can break you
All the more you care
And all, and all in love is fair
But it's not fair
I have haunted many photographs
In the background, in the fore
And as many loves that have crossed my path
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart
I've pushed myself to be vulnerable
And then slept with one eye wide
All that pain and nothing gained in the end
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end
In the end, it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart
