This Is What Friends Are For

Verse 1
I break under pressure
I can't find an escape
You sure did pick a fine time
To spit in my face
Round after round,
I keep getting let down
We do this time and time again
I'm beginning to think I'm my only friend

Chorus
And I feel pretty secure
In knowing you didn't think of any feelings but yours
But what am I supposed to say?
That's what friends are for, anyway
So here comes the lesson that we all should have known
We only have ourselves and we all die alone

Verse 2
There's no sunrise for the lonely
Just another night in darkness
You're running away from me
Because you know you could have stopped this
So maybe someday far away
You'll close your eyes and open your heart
And realize that you need me
But you've already torn us apart


Chorus
And I feel pretty secure
In knowing you didn't think of any feelings but yours
But what am I supposed to say?
That's what friends are for, anyway
So here comes the lesson that we all should have known
We only have ourselves and we all die alone

Verse 3
You're too cool for my conversation
So I'll stay home and I'll get wasted
Anything to get my mind off you
Friends aren't forever, don't let them lie to you
I don't need a memory
If all it does is fuck with me
Shut up, you're not better than anyone
I'll be better off once all of this is said and done

Chorus
And I feel pretty secure
In knowing you didn't think of any feelings but yours
But what am I supposed to say?
That's what friends are for, anyway
So here comes the lesson that we all should have known
We only have ourselves and we all die alone

Outro
And we all die alone
No heart and no home
We all die alone
No heart and no home
