Parker Deal - Ode to a Friend Lyrics

She's a devil woman and I feel your pain
I know now nothing will ever feel the same again
No not again

She played hard to get, and then harder still
She wouldn't let you in as she tried to kill you inside
You saw her when you closed your eyes

She wouldn't understand how you love her
She wouldn't understand how you care
She simply would not see how you were there for her
All the time, you were there, you were there

You fell in love and she fell right back
You knew it was perfect from the moment you had her
Standing hand in hand with you

It was great at the start, didn't seem to get harder
To both you and her there wasn't an end in sight
You could have been right

She wouldn't understand how you love her
She wouldn't understand how you care
She simply would not see how you were there for her
All the time, you were there, you were there

She started to wander, she started to stray
She didn't know if she was okay
Neither did you, but your love for her was true

She started to wonder if hers was as well
And she didn't see it was putting you through hell
She should have known

She wouldn't understand how you love her
She wouldn't understand how you care
She simply would not see how you were there for her
All the time, you were there, you were there

You called her at day, and you called her at night
You just wanted to know if she was alright
She didn't know

So finally the guy who was sweet to the girl
She couldn't see that she was your world
You'd do anything for her, and you tried to
She wouldn't understand how you love her
She wouldn't understand how you care
She simply would not see how you were there for her
All the time, you were there, you were there

Things ended quite rough, I can't say that enough
And you were hurt to the core
She should have tried more

She never cheated whilst you were with her
At least be thankful for that
But now she's not holding back

She was with another guy, oh how I'm praying for you
I can't say I don't know what you're going through
'Cause I do

She wouldn't understand how you love her
She wouldn't understand how you care
She simply would not see how you were there for her
All the time, you were there, you were there

I know this sucks, and I know that you're cryin'
Just know my friend that one day you'll be fine
But it'll take time, so dry your eyes, and know that I'm...

Always there for you, I'm always there for you
