Lyrics
Shorty
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.
It's certainly true,
there's better things to do
And thought I don't know everything
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did.
The last time I saw you act like this
We were kids.
The last time I saw you act like this
We were kids.
What am I to do?
My heart goes out to you.
And though I don't know everything
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did.
Over reacting, over again...
Just between friends.
What am I to do?
I won't come between you two.
(What was I to do?)
I gave it.
(What was I to say?)
I gave it all I could.
(How was I to know?)
I'll bet you never find another friend like me.
