One Of Your Closest Friends

at the time I needed pain and suffering to bring me down from the high I had been getting a blessing though you served a lesson take my head right out of the clouds beneath the atmosphere is where I reside the oxygen was getting thin I appreciate who you are and how I tried to be someone you let in it wasn't easy, but I see my faults broken down, my feelings trapped in vaults I had no business being there but just to see you smile made it worth every ache and pain you made it all worth while until we never spoke again you clearly had no intention to see or speak or feel or be anything to me one of your closest friends i want to let you breathe again I can't recall a single day I didn't care what you'd have to say one of your closest friends needed a hand one day you retracted when I reached out for you you left and walked away You wouldn't speak to me... I thought you were the girl who spoke your mind so free I got it wrong, but who really was to blame? Was it fun watching me ignite this flame? Called you up to speak, I kept checking in You were too busy redirecting The life you lead and I'm proud of you Keep on doing what you want to do But you could have told me that you didn't see Anywhere here for a friend like me You told me I need to wait Because of a pain of which I can't relate [pre-chorus] Did that tattoo fall off, do you hold it close? Do you think you're just the thorns And not the whole rose? You told me one too many times that I'm [Chorus] one of your closest friends i want to let you breathe again I can't recall a single day I didn't care what you'd have to say one of your closest friends needed a hand one day you retracted when I reached out for you you left and walked away [outro]
