Here Are Th Words

I could have treated you better
you couldn't have treated me worse
oh but its he its he who laughes last
is he who cries first
sometimes i feel i know stangers
much better than i know my friends
why must a begining
be the means to an end

chourus:
the stones from my enamies
these wounds will mend
but i canot survive the roses from my friends
no icanot survive the roses.......

verse 2:
When the last word has been spocken
and we've been whitness to the final setting sun
all that shall remain is a tocken
of what we've said and done
when all we've had has been forsacken
distant church bells no longer ring
thats the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king

Chourus

Verse 3:
This may be the last time that i see you
forgive me for holding you close
this may be the last time i see you
so of this moment i will make the most
this may be the last time that i see you
but if you hold me in your heart
together we shall be eternall
if you belive that we shall never never part

Chourus 2 times

the roses 6-8 times
from my friends.

enjoy-play hard, be strong!
