My old friend, these poems that you preach

They′re being wasted as you speak

Remind me once more how they came to be your callingDo you even know you're falling?

You know that for you I′d give an arm

I'm one of few that never meant you harm

And I heed you like I heed fire and thunder

But from time to time I wander

And lately I did wonder

If you did it all to make you feel desired

Did it all to make you feel admired

For love to replace your shame

That's quite the group that you have gathered now

Most of them, they just want you somehow

They would pay any price to kiss your skin

Don′t tell me that is loving

You know that don′t mean nothing

You know

You must know

And yet you give it all to make you feel desired

Give it all to make you feel admired

For love to replace your shame

You give it all to make you feel desired

Give it all to make you feel admired

For love to replace your shame

For love to replace your shame

For us to praise your name

Now, my friend, I won't forget

The darkness blinding me before we met

It′s all I need to remember you

As the light you were

Even though for sure

You won't remember me

No, you won′t remember me

I'm afraid that no amount of fame

Will ever wash away the shame

Of knowing not how to love your only friend

Who will love you ′til the end
