Paroles de Masquerade

Sitting here and reading your thoughts, my heart sinks once again 'Cause I caught you in another lie, find no truth in what you said You say that you'll hurt my feelings You say I won't understand I say you're just a coward Just a counterfeit friend And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me? Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be My promises are haunting me, not so easily shoved aside And yet I keep on trying to finally justify Taking every single word back, every pledge I ever made Because the friend I swore them to was nothing but a masquerade And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me? Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be Then you ask if something's wrong If only you could hear this song You'd just make up some lame excuse So it's no use listening to you And all the times I've been there, they didn't mean a thing At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me? Because I'm still your friend even if you don't want me to be What do you do when you're not lying, do you have other words to say? Why do I have to try so hard to keep from pushing you away? I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me? Because I'm still your friend even if you've never been one to me
