[00:13.31]I have a friend
[00:15.11]
[00:16.39]She's just a friend
[00:17.66]
[00:19.46]I tried to comfort and defend
[00:24.03]
[00:25.69]I gave her what you might call advice
[00:30.30]
[00:31.85]But nothing like that comes without a price
[00:36.67]
[00:37.99]The rumour was a cruel surprise
[00:42.74]
[00:44.24]And she dissolved before my eyes
[00:48.98]
[00:50.54]I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined
[00:55.52]
[00:56.68]I thought about back then when I wished that she could be mine
[01:01.48]
[01:02.85]There's no use in shedding any tears
[01:07.65]
[01:09.06]He's no good to you the way he is
[01:14.38]
[01:16.48]He's gone beyond forgiving and believing
[01:23.84]
[01:28.53]Half of his heart is torn like paper
[01:33.12]
[01:34.46]It's sweet as the syrup from the maple
[01:39.62]
[01:42.11]But that's not the part of him you're leaving
[01:49.30]
[02:06.01]In time they're bound to wonder why
[02:10.33]
[02:12.32]It's just a thrill you can't deny
[02:16.95]
[02:18.61]I offered my shoulder right away
[02:23.30]
[02:24.94]Now people will talk about what I can't say
[02:29.66]
[02:31.27]And yet the whispers still persist
[02:36.19]
[02:37.46]They're getting harder to resist
[02:42.28]
[02:44.32]How am I supposed to stop loving you now I've begun
[02:48.99]
[02:50.20]And sorry for what I might do more than what I have done
[02:54.94]
[02:56.52]There's no use in shedding any tears
[03:01.51]
[03:02.89]He's no good to you the way he is
[03:07.97]
[03:10.32]He's gone beyond forgiving and believing
[03:17.64]
[03:22.48]Half of his heart is filled with pain
[03:26.91]
[03:28.48]That's sweet as a lick of sugarcane
[03:33.00]
[03:36.04]But that's not the part of him you're leaving
[03:43.41]
[03:48.01]Love is a many splintered thing
[03:52.24]
[03:53.98]That only cuts roses and ribbons that cling
[03:59.27]
[04:01.62]But that's not the part of him you're leaving
[04:11.17]
