Joshua Venable - Song for an Old Friend Lyrics



Joshua Venable - Song for an Old Friend Lyrics




I used to have this friend
He'd always ask, "why do you smoke so much"
And I didn't see the point in answering
But what I said to him was
"I smoke because I'm happy
I smoke because I'm sad
I smoke because the tar's the only true friend
That I've ever had
I smoke because there's no better way
Of getting through this pain
And I hope that some day
It'll take it all away"

And no, that's not a metaphor
I'm just saying that I hope it kills me soon

And what this friend did
Was something no true friend would do
He said, "why can't you appreciate
All the nice things that I do for you"

You tell me that you're lonely
You tell me I'm your best friend
But then you go ahead and throw
Caution to the wind
So when you're sitting in your room
Wishing you had someone to talk to
Just remember you're not the only one
Who's feeling blue

You speak of all the things you did
Because you wanted to help me out
But, the way I saw it
All you ever did was bring me down
But I was so wrong it's depressing
To be your friend again is all I'm wanting
I don't think you wanted it to turn out this way
But the truth is, I feel the same
Friend

So, I suppose, the damage has been done
On our anger set the burning sun
But we can fix this, no, this won't be end
It's nothing from which we can't recover again
I know they hurt but I didn't mean the things I said
I just want to see you happy again
So, if you wanna play Metal Gear Solid or Halo, even write some music again
It doesn't matter
Just call me up and I'll be on my way
Friend
