Much The Same
(album: Quitters Never Win)

Sitting here and reading your thoughts, my heart sinks once again
´Cause I caught you in another lie, find no truth in what you said
You say that you´ll hurt my feelings
You say I won´t understand
I say you´re just a coward
Just a counterfeit friend

And all the times I´ve been there, they didn´t mean a thing
At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
Because I´m still your friend even if you don´t want me to be

My promises are haunting me, not so easily shoved aside
And yet I keep on trying to finally justify
Taking every single word back, every pledge I ever made
Because the friend I swore them to was nothing but a masquerade

And all the times I´ve been there, they didn´t mean a thing
At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
Because I´m still your friend even if you don´t want me to be

Then you ask if something´s wrong
If only you could hear this song
You´d just make up some lame excuse
So it´s no use (it´s no use) listening to you

And all the times I´ve been there, they didn´t mean a thing
At least not to you, but I know they meant something to me
And I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
Because I´m still your friend even if you don´t want me to be

What do you do when you´re not lying, do you have other words to say?
Why do I have to try so hard to keep from pushing you away?
I wish that I could give up, is that what you want from me?
Because I´m still your friend even if you´ve never been one to me
