With You

If i said hello to you
Would you respond
Or would it go right through
Your Ears
Your Head
Your self respect
Your dignity to boot
Apologies are hard to give
When i find that i can't speak to you

If I could go back then
I'd kill the history that we had
To save your skin
I'd like to say that it's all my fault
But we both know that ain't true
Another point worth noting down is
I'm not your toy here to abuse

And this won't mean a thing
Cause you'll never hear me sing
Apologies and what could be
If you never met me
And this won't mean a thing
And it won't reduce the sting
Of leaving things uncertain
With a friend
My friend

And would it be so wrong
We set aside mistakes we've made
And we could get along
Then stubbornness was born
Self defence used to offend
Now accepted norm

And some advice that i have learned
From this short time on this world
It's better living to let go

Of the hate, of the pride
Of the grudges that you hold so fond inside
Of your mind
Let it go
Nobody wants to know that

This won't mean a thing
Cause you'll never hear me sing
Apologies and what could be
If you never met me
And this won't mean a thing
And it won't reduce the sting
Of leaving things uncertain
With a friend
My friend
With you
