Lyrics
I don't know what to do about these memories
they've haunted me for much of my youth
I tried to let it all ride over
but it nailed my mind to the wall
I've been picked up and dropped and kicked around
like a leaf caught up in the wind
I put my heart and soul on the line
but all I hear are the voices asking why
well I'm running from the past
that I'd thought I'd left behind
but the loads too big I can't get over the bridge
to the next stage of my life
I thought you could count on me
I thought you had nothing on me
that's when I thought I had a friend
that's when I thought I had a friend
turn back through the pages of my life
but the cover only distorts the truth
wash away all your reservations
and take the time to read than between the lines
well I'm running from the past
that I'd thought I'd left behind
but the loads too big I can't get over the bridge
to the next stage of my life
I thought you could count on me
I thought you had nothing on me
that's when I thought I had a friend
that's when I thought I had a friend
