Paint By Numbers - Friends lyrics

So this is the way we say thank you for staying so close To my side for all these years I've watched you slip as we grow old And the walls are stained with memories to each his own My favorite is the time I held you Off the edge then let go Don't close your eyes and everything will be just fine You carry disease, I carry the only remedy And once you ingest the side effects are permanent This is how they found you The same way that I left you Your body holds the evidence The obvious is put on display again Actions have spoken loud, words have begun to fail You never gave a thought to help So help yourself, I know you will And you're very proud I envy your seasoned sk** A scratch of the surface seemed so small But take a look what's revealed Just close your eyes And I will make everything alright
