Safe to say i'm still young But i should've been someone, yeah I'm retracing my steps Back to the phone box where i left My last piece of gum Had a word with myself Probably best if we end things And what the hell did you expect? Just an empty shell And waste of a life Safe to say i've moved on, No longer tremble in your storm The waves have taken their true form I'll admit i'm a mess Much to accept But it's a sickness I'm a sickness I've lost enough hope for the both of us I never thought i'd turn out like this I'm sorry that i've let you down, kid Why can't we be friends? Why can't you take me as i am? I'm nothing more than a reflection Why can't we be friends? Wires crossed over in my head Resorting to astral projection Seems i'm closer to hell than to heaven You're the brave one, i bet Tears with the taste of intent Sunk to the palm of your hand Strive to be the big star But don't go too far, it's simple And give up smoking the signals A poison-ridden dream A shame that it's pretend I swore to swear to you You're not the same as them I promise not to let you down again Why can't we be friends? Why can't you take me as i am? I'm nothing more than a reflection Why can't we be friends? Wires crossed over in my head Resorting to astral projection Seems i'm closer to hell than to heaven
