about

To take the trust of a friend for granted is to know the worst you can become. And sometimes there's really nothing you can do but acknowledge the damage and let them leave.
And know you'll never forget them.

lyrics

My friend,
What I owe to you,
That touch you don't give out unless it's true,
The sorrow wasn't sweet,
Never quite complete,
Even through the winter and when the year is new,

I'm here,
Steady as a lake,
Reeling in the ropes of my mistakes,
Watching for a note,
Remember how we wrote,
You'd see me off to bed,
And I'd greet you as you'd wake,

I cannot heal your pain,
Draw the poison from your vein,
Yet still I don't forget you in the end,

Still,

Still I know my friend.
