Best Friend Lyrics

My best friend

Why did you decide to be a violent man?

Is it that you want somebody to notice

You've been crying?

I know it's been

Harder than you think we all could understand

But holding in the dark to find some tenderness

Has got you tired

I tried to help heal you too

But then I realized that's only something that you can do

I'm holding on to what I feel

But when your words don't say what you mean, I just need something real

I'm heartbroken

Tethered by the visions of our future's past

Or was it ecstasy of shared unhappiness

That's got me grieving?

Do you remember when

The start of spring uttered young innocence?

We were still kids, I like to think of us back then

It was easy

I didn't want to go

Leaving was the hardest thing I've ever known

But words of love your whispering don't help me grow

When you keep harming

My best friend

Thinking of the kids my body wants to have

I thought that you wanted to share the path

Of this living

I tried to help heal you too

But then I realized that's only something that you can do

I'm letting go what wasn't true

But if we keep on loving what's left, that's the same abuse

I know it's been

Several years of wanting to understand

But making peace gets harder when you reach back in

And I'm finally healing

My best friend

Why do you decide to be a violent man?

I've been here loving you and want to hear us laugh

But you keep harming
