Real Friends Don't Tell Tales
If you could read my mind
You would find the truth that I keep away
The facts I don’t want you to know
And the inner battle that I wish to stop
So nobody gets hurt, including you.
Even though you’re not apart of this problem
You should watch your step cause just one could make you falter
Don’t mess with the insanity before the illness overcomes you
You’ll be taken as its own
Joining the elite group of local misfits
Who only spend there time wishing for another life.
Chorus
We could wait forever for bad to become good.
We could wait forever to be heard, listened to be understood.
We could keep this deadly secret quiet
We could prevent this mistake from turning into a riot
Let’s not risk perfection since it has not yet been achieved.
Sometimes we stop asking questions
Because we’ve not yet found the answers
Could it be that’s why we lose our way
Why don’t you help me out, and tell my what’s wrong here
Since I’m so lost in myself, you need to come to my rescue
My hope has dwindled so why am I still here
Now don’t lie to me, don’t tell me another tale
Just so I can hear it and classify it as false
I don’t have the time to sort the fact from the fiction
So spare me the trouble and tell the truth
These regrets can’t be repaired
So, let’s stop trying to make amends
With what is never coming back
Chorus
We could wait forever for bad to become good.
We could wait forever to be heard, listened to be understood.
We could keep this deadly secret quiet
We could prevent this mistake from turning into a riot
Let’s not risk perfection since it has not yet been achieved.
Can’t stand this, fighting for this chance
When in reality, its not going to happen
I’m only here because you told me so
But you lied, and now I’m stuck running from the fire you started
A secret once kept is now unleashed
Something we never wanted told
And now you beg for forgiveness of the dreaded betrayal you made
But we all know
Chorus
We could wait forever for bad to become good.
We could wait forever to be heard, listened to be understood.
We could keep this deadly secret quiet
We could prevent this mistake from turning into a riot
Let’s not risk perfection since it has not yet been achieved.
But we all know
That real friends don’t tell tales
