Maybe I should make you stay away So you can really concentrate on where you are today when you phone, I sit and think alone And wonder if your life with her is really as you say Then again, you're still a friend I'll be loyal to you 'til the end Come to me with wounds you want to heal I'll listen and I'll try to understand the way you feel Never fear that I'll be gone from here I'll always be around for you to talk to me, my dear We can try to justify reasons for and reasons why Some are true and some are only lies With fingers crossed you close your eyes And hope that things will turn out fine There's not a lot that I can do If you're too weak to face the truth 'Cause if the things you tell me are The way you really claim they are Then I can only pity you for being such a fool
