I have a friend
She's just a friend
I tried to comfort and defend
I gave her what you might call advice
But nothing like that comes without a price
The rumour was a cruel surprise
And she dissolved before my eyes
......................................................
I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined
I thought about back then when I wished that she had been mine
.......................................
There's no use in shedding any tears
He's no good to you the way he is
.............................
He's beyond forgiving and believing
Half of his heart is torn like paper
........................................
It's sweet as the syrup from the maple
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
