Friends?

(album: A Moment In Time - 2008)

Friends, what are you supposed to do?
Should you build me up or break me down?
Friends, what are you there for?
If you're in my need, you're never around

Friends, what are your duties?
Does it mean loyalty?
Tell me the truth even when it hurts
No matter what it may be

'Cause I got my problems
And you know that I got them
But you still saying nothing
Though you know I'm hurting
Half way smiling means something's hiding
And you're keeping the solution

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Ever so often I get disappointed
Now I got nothing else to prove
Y'all have been acting upon my weakness
All in the name of love

Now I keep a close eye on all those who deny
Those who are leaving alive, don't think you've won
In your head I'm from the rebel
Think I'll get miserable, you made me struggle
Didn't know I'm able to check my timetable
And no good people help me some fund

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Friend, do you know what's a secret?
Are you sure you know how to keep it?
Based on what I head yesterday
You surely gave me away

Now it's been said that my bills aren't paid
I'm running low on bread, it's going to my head
Check the flow as the story goes
What do you know?

I remember when I had this master plan
And you said we could've done
Was you weren't the one?
Can't explain, but in the end they glister you again

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder

Friends don't mean a thing
If when I'm down you keep me down
Friends don't mean a thing
If I can't cry on your shoulder
