lyrics

Funny how someone will say
They're on your side, they will not leave it,
Come what may

So you got a friend, meet once or twice a week,
Talk and talk 'bout things you like,
But never really speak

Life is so empty
With friends who are part-time
Life without a friend that's true
Is poetry without a rhyme

Then trouble starts, and things look bad
You turn to your friend, lookin' for help,
But you were just another fad

Quickly they'll say, 'We're friends', I've learned,
Then just as fast they'll turn their back,
Behind them all bridges burned

I am so empty
Though I may say I'm just fine
With nowhere to place my trust
I'm drowning without a lifeline

And then I was pulled out of the fray
By someone who lived by her heart
And not by some cliche'

She smiled at me and said my name
And I knew from that point on that life
Would never be the same

Life was so empty
But now it feels complete
I just needed someone who could
Get me on my feet

I was so empty
But now I feel complete
I just needed someone who could
Get me on my feet
