BEN HARPER - Roses From My Friends lyrics

rate me

I could have treated you better<br>But you couldn't have treated me worse<br>But it's he who laughs last<br>Is he who cries first<br><br>Sometimes I feel I know strangers<br>Better than I know my friends<br>Why must a beginning<br>Be the means to an end<br><br>The stones from my enemies<br>These wounds will mend<br>But I cannot survive<br>The roses from my friends<br><br>When the last word has been spoken<br>And we've beared witness to the final setting sun<br>All that shall remain is a token<br>Of what we've said and done<br><br>When all we've had has been forsaken<br>Distant church bells no longer ring<br>That's the sound of a heart taken<br>And the story of tears from a king<br><br>The stones from my enemies<br>These wounds will mend<br>But I cannot survive<br>The roses from my friends<br><br>This may be the last time I see you<br>Forgive me for holding you close<br>This may be the last time that I see you<br>So of this moment I will make the most<br><br>This may be the last time I see you<br>But if you keep me in your heart<br>Together we shall be eternal<br>If you believe<br>We shall never part<br><br>The stones from my enemies<br>These wounds will mend<br>But I cannot survive<br>The roses from my friends
