Well my old friend said to me
I ain`t being what I`m supposed to be
Well I don`t know, it could be true
I know I wasn`t always there for you
Now you`re ready to walk out, you`re ready to run
Talk to me, can`t you see
I would never want to do what it seems I`ve done
You can`t deal me the aces and think I wouldn`t play
Don`t let this be the reason you would walk away
The things you think that I should do
I`ve never understood that part of you
I know I`ve tried to be a friend
But you feel undermined and hurt again
Now don`t let it convince you, don`t take it to heart
Compromise and realize you can never really run everything you start
You can`t deal me the aces and think I wouldn`t play
Don`t let this be the reason you would walk away
And I guess I said I couldn`t see
How things could turn out like they`ve come to be
And if I lied, if I knew
I was only trying to think of you
Now you`re ready to walk out, you`re ready to run
Talk to me, can`t you see
I would never want to do what it seems I`ve done
You can`t deal me the aces and think I wouldn`t play
Don`t let this be the reason you would walk away
