For a Friend

What if we've been lying to ourselves?
What if you're the knife in your own back
And you're slowly reaching to drive it further in?
What if I'm the only one I even trust?
What if you're the lie that kept you stuck in place until the end?

Were we wrong to give it a second look?
What if you really gave it all it took?

I'll move halfway across the world to try & give myself a chance
You're the last one I'd ever expect to leave it all without a glance
Hope your early mornings and your broken back are worth the sacrifice
Because I've given this my all, and one day I know I'll the life
You once said you wanted

What if you've been lying to yourself?
What if you're the fork in your own road
And you're steady stranded, forever in your way?
What if I'm the only one who gave a fuck?
What if I was real, and told you everything, the hardest shit to say?

I hope it all works out for you in the end
A lifetime spent forever, playing pretend

I'll move halfway across the world to try & give myself a chance
You're the last one I'd ever expect to leave it all without a glance
Hope your early mornings and your broken back are worth the sacrifice
Because I've given this my all, and one day I know I'll the life
You once said you wanted

(Goodbye my friend)
Like a ship run aground and left marooned
Dead like the ocean with no moon
A siren lost and taken by the waves
My only hope is that you don't regret this life all of it's dying days
Cause you dug your own grave
(Goodbye my friend)

I'll move halfway across the world to try & give myself a chance
You're the last one I'd ever expect to leave it all without a glance
Hope your early mornings and your broken back are worth the sacrifice
Because I've given this my all, and one day I know I'll the life
You once said you wanted
