As A Friend

As A Friend: (Words and Music by Paul Prescott) 16/08/09

Verse:
I wake to find
The pieces in my mind
Have all combined
They’re not scattered on the floor (anymore)
It’s hard to fold
When happiness shines like gold
It’s overwhelming
Now can tell me like you did once before…

Chorus:
Do you love me as a friend?
Is my sorrow all pretend?
Will I find the words to say how much I’m sorry?
Will I fail and let this end?
Though I try you still defend
It’s no surprise that compromise is failing we can’t comprehend.

Verse:
I’m running through
These openings to you
And finding exits
I don’t expect this message
To reach you
(And) all I’m finding
Is reminding me
Of what I use to be
I’m a danger
To these strangers and the people that I see

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
And you looked at me
And it felt like she was watching
And don’t you see that we’ll, eventually be free
From stopping

Chorus:
Will you love me as a friend?
Is my sorrow all pretend?
Will I find the words to say how much I’m sorry?
Will I fail and let this end?
Though I try you still defend
It’s no surprise that compromise is failing we can’t comprehend.
