You’ll Still Need A Friend

Judging by the distance, that's written in your eyes
This is that defining moment, that people realise
It's not communication, it's not that we don't try
We don't want the same thing, the facts are hard to fight

But if this is how it's going to end
And if the rules you want to life by won't bend
Then when you finally find the life you expect
You'll still need a friend

Comprimised solution, still could save the day
But when I move toward the middle, you just turn away
I understand the reasons, but that don't stop the pain
Your path was there before me, but from it you won't stray

'Cause I know that you'll be better off alone
And our love was never written in stone
But when you're out there in the world on your own
You'll still need a friend
You'll still need a friend

We've reached the end, I can't deny it
I know the honeymoon is over now
But no matter where you go
I'm on your side

So if this is how it's going to end
And if the rules you want to life by won't bend
Wehn you finally find the life you expect
You're still gonna need a friend
Oh Lord, you're still gonna need a friend

Yes, I understand the reasons baby
Lord knows I do
When you're out there in the world on your own
You'll still need a friend
Gonna need somebody baby, mmm
You'll still need a friend
