THAT S NOT THE PART OF HIM YOU RE LEAVING
I have a friend
She s just a friend
...............
I tried to comfort and defend
................................................
I gave her what you might call advice
............................................................
But nothing like that comes without a price
...................
The rumour was a cruel surprise
....................
And she dissolved before my eyes
......................................................
I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined
...........................................................................................
I thought about back then when I wished that she had been mine
.......................................
There s no use in shedding any tears
..................................................
He s no good to you the way he is
.............................
He s beyond forgiving and believing
.................
Half of his heart is torn like paper
........................................
It s sweet as the syrup from the maple
......................................................
But that s not the part of him you re leaving
