If you like Mumford and Sons or Marah In The Mainsail...chances are you'll probably find this song at least moderately intriguing. One of the four we'll be pushing to radio stations!!! XD
lyrics
I told you what you could do any you listened
For that I thank you, oh we talked so many nights away
And I see now what it put you through to cut ties
Now I need the comforting because I must do the same
Does the pain stay
Once you push the friend away
Or will this moment pass just like the rest
Well, this too shall pass
So these silly feelings won't last
Why do we cling so tightly to parasites?
Thank you for helping me
Because now, I can see
I will say, I will say, I must say
Good friend in the past is what you are
Goodbye with you at their side, no man could make it far
I will not apologize
It is the truth
Remember that I love you
Yeah I remember the good times we've been through
But remember, we cannot be friends
Because I've seen the things that you do when they aren't looking
If they're not in your club, you go on hurting
Your fellow man
My savior, He never did
One evil thing, He was blameless
And the teachings He clearly spoke
I have heard
Love all, this you know
But be careful who you let close
For a friend of a fool
Will be a fool
So, good friend in the past is what you are
Goodbye with you at their side, no man could make it far
Your poisonous company
Is no good for me
My soul, it must be free
For the time
And please don't guilt trip me
In hopes that I'll believe
Some lie
About who you are
Because if you really wanted to change
You wouldn't give yourself some different name
You'd dig deep and start back at the core
Good friend in the past is what you are
Goodbye with you at their side, no man could make it far
Good friend you used to be
Give that some thought
I pray that these words and actions
Aren't all for naught
I hope this helps to see
The man that you could be
Just remember
The change still can be done
