Friends Like These - Mesh

I’ve fallen in love with a photograph

A moment of youth that I can’t get back

The days when you’re here it returns again

Emotions that feed on me everyday

And every night I watch it fading

It’s safer just to write my whole life down

With every breath the words betray me

It’s easier to face the truth

I’ve taken a vow that I’ll make it up

I’ll dig in the past and I’ll rake it up

Making amends to the friends I miss

Breaking the mould that I’m frozen in

And everyday I know I’m lazy

It’s easier to let the good times pass

And now it seems the memory’s hazy

It’s time for me to face the past

We tell them lies, we do sometimes

We live and die for friends like these

When all is said

We turn instead

And give our lives for what’s beneath

And we do sometimes

I’d be a fool to slide again

I’ll be like you and try again

I’ve fallen in love with a photograph

A moment of proof that can’t love me back

The way that it cuts at me everyday

The images mock me a melt away

And everyday I feel it clearly

It’s easy just to save the worst until last

And maybe I could see it really

It’s painful what we do

We tell them lies, we do sometimes

We live and die for friends like these

When all is said

We turn instead

And give our lives for what’s beneath

And we do sometimes

We live and die for friends like these

And we do sometimes
