moment of youth that I can't get back 
The days when you're here it returns again 
Emotions that feed on me everyday 

And every night I watch it fading 
It's safer just to write my whole life down 
With every breath the words betray me 
It's easier to face the [bad word] 

I've taken a vow that I'll make it up 
I'll dig in the past and I'll rake it up 
Making amends to the friends I miss 
Breaking the mould that I'm frozen in 

And everyday I know I'm lazy 
It's easier to let the good times pass 
And now it seems the memory's hazy 
It's time for me to face the past 

We tell them lies, we do sometimes 
We live and die for friends like these 
When all is said 
We turn instead 
And give our lives for what's beneath 

And we do sometimes 

I'd be a fool to slide again 
I'll be like you and try again 

I've fallen in love with a photograph 
moment of proof that can't love me back 
The way that it cuts at me everyday 
The images mock me a melt away 

And everyday I feel it clearly 
It's easy just to save the worst until last 
And maybe I could see it really 
It's painful what we do 

We tell them lies, we do sometimes 
We live and die for friends like these 
When all is said 
We turn instead 
And give our lives for what's beneath 

And we do sometimes 

We live and die for friends like these 
And we do sometimes
