A Letter From A Friend Songtext / Lyric

Precious thing

I long for nothing more

Than to be your friend

But I am not good

As you are

For I think

Where I should feel

And I am not

Innocent

As you would think

For I try

To turn your head

And I never stop

And I see you happy

And I wish you well

But in my wish

Is my invitation

To a different dream

And I wonder

If I care for you at all

Not to leave you alone

Where you are

Content

And I long for nothing more

Than to be your friend

But if you accept my gift

You will ruin it

And I will not give you

What I promised

Because

I can't

But I will always

Offer

And I will always

Deny it

Because I have a most convenient

Guise

Of friendship

Should you slip

I should slay you

Like all the others

And still I rain

And say "walk my way"

Because I adore

Where I have no right

But I ask you to become

Worse than you are

And neglect to mention

That I adore the part of you

That does not

Love me

For I long for nothing more

Than to be your friend

Yet I long for everything

Friends will never be

I think I may be

Cruel

But if I harm none I am

Only evil

And it hurts not to know if I am

Terrible

Or only

In love
