I haven't been a good friend For a long, long time. You know I wasn't happy Behind the smile. Anywhere you look A reason to believe. But think of what it took To bring me to my proper place. And I haven't been a good friend For a long, long time. I haven't been a good friend While you've been mine. Now am I by side Or standing in your way? 'Cause if this is a sign I don't know what it's supposed to mean And I haven't been a good friend For a long, long time. I haven't been a good friend While you've been mine. I have seen my perfect day I have watched it fade away. You know I'm fighting to believe. I haven't been a good friend For a long, long time. You know I wasn't happy Behind the smile.
