I never talked too much
I tried to be so strong
I did my best
I used the gentle touch
I've done it for so long
You put me down
But I can laugh it off
And act like nothing's wrong
But why pretend
I think I've heard enough
Of your familiar song
I tell you what I'm going to do
I'll try to take my mind off you
And now that you don't need my help
I'll use the time to think about myself
You're not aware
Of what you put me through
But now the feeling's gone
But I don't mind
Do what you have to do
You don't fool anyone
I'll tell you what I'm going to do
I'll take a different point of view
And now that you don't need my help
I'll use the time to think about myself
The definition of friendship
Apparently ought to be
Showing support for the one that you love
And I was open to friendship
But you didn't seem to have any to spare
While you were riding to Vanity Fair
There was a time
When every day was young
The sun would always shine
We sang along
When all the songs were sung
Believing every line
That's the trouble with friendship
For someone to feel it
It has to be real or it wouldn't be right
And I keep hoping for friendship
But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there
While you were riding to Vanity Fair
I bit my tongue I never talked too much I tried to be so strong I did my best I used the gentle touch I've done it for so long You put me down But I can laugh it off And act like nothing's wrong But why pretend I think I've heard enough Of your familiar song I tell you what I'm going to do I'll try to take my mind off you And now that you don't need my help I'll use the time to think about myself You're not aware Of what you put me through But now the feeling's gone But I don't mind Do what you have to do You don't fool anyone I'll tell you what I'm going to do I'll take a different point of view And now that you don't need my help I'll use the time to think about myself The definition of friendship Apparently ought to be Showing support for the one that you love And I was open to friendship But you didn't seem to have any to spare While you were riding to Vanity Fair There was a time When every day was young The sun would always shine We sang along When all the songs were sung Believing every line That's the trouble with friendship For someone to feel it It has to be real or it wouldn't be right And I keep hoping for friendship But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there While you were riding to Vanity Fair Explain Request ×
