You'll Still Need A Friend

Judging by the distance, it's written in your eyes

This is that defining moment, that people realise

It's not communication, it's not that we don't try

We don't want the same thing, the facts are hard to fight

But if this is how it's going to end

And if the rules you want to life by won't bend

Then when you finally find the life you expect

you'll still need a friend

Comprimised illusion, still could save the day

But when I move toward the middle, you just turn away

I understand the reasons, but that don't stop the pain

Your path was there before me, but from it you won't stray

'Cause I know that you'll be better off alone

And our love was never written in stone

But when you're out there in the world on your own

you'll still need a friend

you'll still need a friend

We've reached the end, I can't deny it

I know the honeymoon is over now

But no matter where you go

I'm on your side

So if this is how it's going to end

And if the rules you want to life by won't bend

Wehn you finally find the life you expect

You're still gonna need a friend

oh Lord, you're still gonna need a friend

Yes, I understand the reasons baby

Lord knows I do

When you're out there in the world on your own

You'll still need a friend

Gonna need somebody baby, mmm

You'll still need a friend
