My Friend

I owe a lot to you, my dear, you are a friend

You care enough to listen and to understand

There are so many means to many different ends

I leave it up to you

A post-it note displays what i did not forget

A long apology but i am not upset

A wake up call goes off but i'm not sleeping yet

And i cannot reset

At times i wish i were dead

Busy people dancing all over my head

I keep an eye on every possible escape while moving at my pace

Whatever's coming up, i can't afford a stop

There's no excuse if i am late

I'm in for a surprise but there are limits to my status as a fool

Even giant words with exclamation marks can't tell me what i have to do

I owe a lot to you, my dear, you changed the plot

You tickle tear ducts with the innocence you've got

Whatever is at stake you play and one mistake

It cannot ruin your day

At times i wish i were dead

Busy people dancing all over my head

I owe a lot to you, my dear, you are a friend

You care enough to listen and to understand

There are so many means to many different ends

The older we all get, the more we feed our fears

But sweetly haunting thoughts can form a new idea

There was a time to try but now it is for real

I owe a lot to you, my dear, you lift me up

And they can say we're losing touch, i know we're not

If the friendship ends you know

I won't pretend you never were a friend
