Time is doing its best or its worst to reveal all the hurt
Or the lies that you've been building on
Pain is something I feel or I felt cause I think that I thought
We were somewhere that we'd never gone
Love is all that I give or I gave once I had but I can't
Cause you ain't got none for anybody
Trust is something you know that you lost
And you can't get no more from me

I've been a good friend better than you've been
Your heart was pouring out I put my loving in
I truly cared for yuh plus I was there for yuh
I should have let it end when you couldn't understand
I've been a good friend better than you've been
Your heart was pouring out I put my loving in
I truly cared for yuh plus I was there for yuh
I should have let it end when you couldn't understand
I've been a good friend

Hope is something they tell you to have when you cant reach and grab
All the things thing you've been hoping for
Faith is finding a way to believe in a world you cant see
Though your heart is saying shut the door
I've been foolish believing in you denying the truth
Cause i thought that you were getting better
All you did was take generously
But you cant take no more from me

I've been a good friend better than you've been
Your heart was pouring out I put my loving in
I truly cared for yuh plus I was there for yuh
I should have let it end when you couldn't understand
I've been a good friend better than you've been
Your heart was pouring out I put my loving in
I truly cared for yuh plus I was there for yuh
I should have let it end when you couldn't understand
I've been a good friend

One day alone you'll wake and see
The wrongs you've done to friends like
You'll beg you'll cry you'll scream and please
And though we can hear yuh no one will answer
Cause your right where you need to me

I've been a good friend better than you've been
Your heart was pouring out I put my loving in
I truly cared for yuh plus I was there for yuh
I should have let it end when you couldn't understand
I've been a good friend better than you've been
Your heart was pouring out I put my loving in
I truly cared for yuh plus I was there for yuh
I should have let it end when you couldn't understand
I've been a good friend
