I haven't been a good friend

for a long long time

you know I wasn't happy

behind the smile

anywhere you look

a reason to believe

but think of what it took

to bring me to my proper place

and I haven't been a good friend

for a long long time

I haven't been a good friend

while you've been mine

now am I by your side

or standing in your way

'cause if this is a sign

I don't know what it's s'posed to mean

and I haven't been a good friend

for a long long time

I haven't been a good friend

while you've been mine

I have seen my perfect day

I have watched it fade away

you know I'm fighting to be real

I haven't been a good friend

for a long long time

you know I wasn't happy

behind the smile
