(x4)
I bit my tongue I never talked too much
I tried to be so strong
I did my best I used the gentle touch
I've done it for so long
Y ou put me down but I can laugh it off
And act like nothing's wrong
B ut why pretend? I think I've heard enough
Of your familiar song
I tell you what I'm going to do
I 'll try to take my mind off you
A nd now that you don't need my help
I 'll use the time to think about myself
(x2)
Y ou're not aware of what you put me through
But now the feeling's gone
B ut I don't mind do what you have to do
You don't fool anyone
I 'll tell you what I'm going to do
I 'll take a different point of view
A nd now that you don't need my help
I 'll use the time to think about myself
T he definition of friendship
Apparently ought to be showing support
For the o ne that you love
A nd I was open to friendship
But you didn't seem to have any to spare
W hile you were riding to Vanity Fair
(x2)
T here was a time when every day was young
The sun would always shine
W e sang along when all the songs were sung
Believing every line
T hat's the trouble with friendship
For someone to feel it it has to be real
Or it w ouldn't be right
A nd I keep hoping for friendship
But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there
W hile you were riding to Vanity Fair
