A moment of youth that I can't get back The days when you're here it returns again Emotions that feed on me everyday
And every night I watch it fading It's safer just to write my whole life down With every breath the words betray me It's easier to face the truth
I've taken a vow that I'll make it up I'll dig in the past and I'll rake it up Making amends to the friends I miss Breaking the mould that I'm frozen in
And everyday I know I'm lazy It's easier to let the good times pass And now it seems the memory's hazy It's time for me to face the past
We tell them lies, we do sometimes We live and die for friends like these When all is said We turn instead And give our lives for what's beneath
And we do sometimes
I'd be a fool to slide again I'll be like you and try again
I've fallen in love with a photograph A moment of proof that can't love me back The way that it cuts at me everyday The images mock me a melt away
And everyday I feel it clearly It's easy just to save the worst until last And maybe I could see it really It's painful what we do
We tell them lies, we do sometimes We live and die for friends like these When all is said We turn instead And give our lives for what's beneath
And we do sometimes
We live and die for friends like these And we do sometimes
