Album Notes
Remember when I was starting out
Every show, you'd be standing there
Front row cheering without a doubt
That's how we became a pair
After every gig you'd stick around
We'd talk for hours into the night
You saw something that I had found
Said I'd make everything alright
Then the lines got blurred somehow
Your love felt too much like need
I pulled away, I'm sorry now
Wish I could make you see
Hey my friend, you're not gone
You're the words still in my song
I know you loved me way too much
In a way I couldn't touch
Hey my friend, you broke my heart
But I loved you from the start
Just not the way you needed me
Now I hope you're finally free
You got my name tattooed upon your skin
Said it proved that we were meant to be
"Quit your job so we could talk again"
But that's not what friendship means to me
Words got sharp and feelings bled
I walked away to save us both
So many things we never said
Never thought I'd break that oath
Then the lines got blurred somehow
Your love felt too much like need
I pulled away, I'm sorry now
Wish I could make you see
Hey my friend, you're not gone
You're the words still in my song
I know you loved me way too much
In a way I couldn't touch
Hey my friend, you broke my heart
But I loved you from the start
Just not the way you needed me
Now I hope you're finally free
Now I'm standing at your grave
Wishing I could take it back
Hope you're in a better place
Where love doesn't hurt so bad
All the words I couldn't say
All the hurt we put each other through
Maybe now you understand the way
I loved you but not like you wanted me to
Hey my friend, you're not gone
You're the words still in my song
But you made my life a living hell
With your love I knew too well
Hey my friend, you broke my heart
Tore my world apart from the start
Now you're gone and I'm not free
'Cause you're still haunting me
Hey my friend, you're not gone
You're the words still in my song
