| Sitting here and reading your thoughts, my heart sinks once again
 | 
| 'Cause I caught you in another lie, find no truth in what you said
 | 
| You say that you’ll hurt my feelings
 | 
| You say I won’t understand
 | 
| I say you’re just a coward
 | 
| Just a counterfeit friend
 | 
| And all the times I’ve been there, they didn’t mean a thing
 | 
| At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 | 
| Because I’m still your friend even if you don’t want me to be
 | 
| My promises are haunting me, not so easily shoved aside
 | 
| And yet I keep on trying to finally justify
 | 
| Taking every single word back, every pledge I ever made
 | 
| Because the friend I swore them to was nothing but a masquerade
 | 
| And all the times I’ve been there, they didn’t mean a thing
 | 
| At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 | 
| Because I’m still your friend even if you don’t want me to be
 | 
| Then you ask if something’s wrong
 | 
| If only you could hear this song
 | 
| You’d just make up some lame excuse
 | 
| So it’s no use (it's no use) listening to you
 | 
| And all the times I’ve been there, they didn’t mean a thing
 | 
| At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 | 
| Because I’m still your friend even if you don’t want me to be
 | 
| What do you do when you’re not lying, do you have other words to say?
 | 
| Why do I have to try so hard to keep from pushing you away?
 | 
| I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
 | 
| Because I’m still your friend even if you’ve never been one to me |
