Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought
Well, so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
Well, I guess I'll never know
But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
Call them friends but they just don't care
"Friend for life"
Such shallow words for a broken mind
Show me a friend for life
'Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
'Cause when we're together we just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine
Well I guess I'll never know
But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own but is she really there?
"Love for life"
Such noble words for a noble mind
Show me a love for life
'Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
"Friend for life"
Such shallow words for a broken mind
Show me a friend for life
'Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I had a friend that I could count
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Because I don't want to see anything anymore
