Lyrics
If You Were The Friend
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 watch your eyes as you watch him walk in the room
And I can see you're still in love
It's hurtin' me that everybody knows but you
Who he sees and what he does
If you were the friend and I was the fool
Would you tell me what I'm not telling you
Would you let me live a lie or let me know the truth
If you were the friend and I was the fool
He takes your hand and tells you you're the only dream
That he sees when he lays down
But I've been there when he was chasing different dreams
Lord it's gonna hurt when you find out
If you were the friend and I was the fool
Would you tell me what I'm not telling you
Would you let me live a lie or let me know the truth
If you were the friend and I was the fool
