My Friend - Arrested Youth

[00:00.496] Sometimes that hardest thing that you can ever do
[00:04.632] Is find a way to live a life of always being true
[00:08.757] I don’t wanna be another person you resent
[00:13.397] I hope when this is over we’re both happy in the end
[00:17.582] As I write this song I look back
[00:20.133] At failed relationships that I’ve had
[00:21.886] The good, the bad, the ugly
[00:23.644] The happy, the sad, the trusting
[00:26.500] So many people I’ve met in my life
[00:27.944] So many different streaks of light
[00:30.197] And personality types
[00:31.344] It gets hard to try and keep track
[00:32.973] Like, “Why did it end, was it all bad?”
[00:35.325] “Why was she mad, why did he quit?”
[00:37.675] It’s not just women I’ve lost to life’s grips
[00:39.723] Friends, colleagues, all the same
[00:41.871] Relationships were meant to change
[00:44.236] I guess that’s life what can you do?
[00:46.274] But try your best to remain true
[00:48.616] So, I do my job as a friend and son
[00:50.866] To mean what I say and do what I love
[00:53.217] Sometimes that hardest thing that you can ever do
[00:57.483] Is find a way to live a life of always being true
[01:02.146] I don’t wanna be another person you resent
[01:06.213] I hope when this is over we’re both happy in the end
[01:10.469] My friend, I wrote this song for you
[01:19.601] It’s hard to be me, it’s hard to be you
[01:21.943] It’s hard to be us, there’s not enough room
[01:24.306] Inside of the lives we chose
[01:26.255] Goodbyes are mellow but so are hellos
[01:28.622] Yellow and blue are the hues of the truth
[01:30.764] The valley is green, but what will we do?
[01:32.893] When forests catch fire and it’s one for all
[01:35.240] I’d like to believe I’d be there when you call
[01:37.583] My friend, I wrote this song for you
[01:46.496] Sometimes that hardest thing that you can ever do
[01:50.511] Is find a way to live a life of always being true
[01:55.457] I don’t wanna be another person you resent
[01:59.594] I hope when this is over we’re both happy in the end
[02:03.832] My friend, I wrote this song for you
