about

A song about the different paths life can take for 2 friends and how that inevitably affects their bond

lyrics

It's easy to think
This comes naturally to me
But so many times I've been on the brink
Of death or insanity
Sometimes I can't help myself
I try not to get too attached
Because I think it's bad for my health
And once I start there's no going back

Just remember that when things get tough
You my dear will always be a diamond in the rough

I didn't think that I could desire
To be around someone so much
Your kindness is what I truly admire
Not just your smile or your touch
I've been talking to the walls
I wish I could tell you just what I mean
But the only thing that matters at all
Is not the way things are but the way they seem
No the only thing that matters at all
Is not the way things are but the way they seem

Just remember that when things get tough
You my dear will always be a diamond in the rough

Don't you know that it's you
Don't you know that it's true
You my dear are so special to me
Isn't it clear, oh can't you see?

Didn’t you know that it was you
Didn’t you know that it was true
You my dear were so special to me
Wasn’t it clear, oh couldn’t you see?
