Hard to be a Friend

Chris Pratt, Copyright April 2003

Another day has passed me by, in its uneventful way
no passion for the future, no interest in today
I must be really different or just too old to change
but there is something wrong inside somethin really strange

It seems that any normal man would have put it all away
got on with starting over, let go of yesterday
but love for you still haunts me, though your friend I try to be
it follows me each moment, I wonder if you see

Its hard to be a friend, when you dominate my mind
It's hard to be a friend,  though I know it's past our time
It's hard to be a friend, cause it's still love I look to find 
I'm sorry, but It's hard to be just your friend, just your friend 

I try to hide from memories, how another took my place
and somehow made you happy, put a smile upon your face
when nothing I could do for you would ever draw you near
and then it starts all over, as nightmares reappear

chorus
solo

I will do all I can do, to answer when you ask
but friends are without honor, when they carry out the task
if it's a lie about the friendship, and motives are not pure
it's just to heal the sickness, of a love without a cure
