I'll be there
to hold you by the hand
When you need someone
to walk you home
You know that I'll be there to understand
When you call me on the phone
I'll be there to watch you when you sleep
When you close your eyes at night
And I'll be there to keep your secrets kept,
Cross my heart, hope to die
I swear each word is true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I'll be there
when you need a real friend
I'll be there to listen to your secrets
I'll be there and give you all I've got
I'll be there when you paint your masterpiece
And I'll be right beside your every move
I'll give you my eyes so you can see
And I'll help you to find the things you've lost
When you're busting at the seams
I swear each word is true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love you

Chorus:
Nobody wants you like I want you
Nobody needs you like I need you
You know I would beg and plead,
get down on my knees
I'd do most anything, it's true
But I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love you
'Cause I love you
I'll be there to love the things you love
I'll be the one who knows your middle name
Be the only one that you can trust
I'll give you the blood that's in my veins
I swear these words are true
There's only one thing I wouldn't do
I ain't gonna love you

Chorus:
'Cause nobody wants you like I want you
Nobody needs you like I need you
You know I would beg and please,
get down on my knees
Do most anything for you
But I ain't gonna love you
I ain't gonna love
'Cause I love you
Because I love you

Carta a un amigo/a

Voy a estar ahí para cogerte de la mano
Cuando necesites a alguien que te acompañe a casa
Sabes que estaré ahí para comprenderte
Cuando me llames por teléfono
Estaré ahí para mirarte mientras duermas
Cuando cierres los ojos por la noche
Y estaré ahí para guardar tus secretos
Que me muera si no es verdad
Juro que cada palabra es sincera
Sólo hay una cosa que no haría

Estaré ahí cuando necesites a un amigo de verdad
Estaré ahí para escuchar tus secretos
Estaré ahí y te daré todo lo que tengo
Estaré ahí cuando pintes tu obra de arte

Y estaré al lado de cada uno de tus movimientos
Te daré mis ojos para que puedas ver
Y te ayudaré a encontrar aquellas cosas que has perdido
Cuando se rompan tus costuras
Juro que cada palabra es verdad
Sólo hay una cosa que no haría
No voy a amarte
No voy a amarte

Nadie te quiere como yo te quiero
Nadie te necesita como yo te necesito
Sabes que rogaría y suplicaría, me pondría de rodillas
Haría más que cualquier cosa, es cierto
Pero no voy a amarte
No voy a amarte
Porque ya te amo

Estaré ahí para amar las cosas que te encantan
Seré el único que conozca tu segundo nombre
El único en quien podrás confiar
Te daré la sangre que está en mis venas
Juro que estas palabras son ciertas
Sólo hay una cosa que no haría
No voy a amarte

Porque nadie te quiere como yo te quiero
Nadie te necesita como yo te necesito
Sabes que rogaría y suplicaría, me pondría de rodillas
Haría más que cualquier cosa por ti
Pero no voy a amarte
No voy a amarte
Porque te amo
Porque ya te amo

We were friends since school
The punks were never cool
But we didn't care anyway
And even in the scene
When it was cool to be mean
We walked the other way
Rebels from birth this world had no worth
But then you went astray one day
And I don't think it's right
That you gave up the fight
And walked away; you ran away

We could have made that change,
We could have set this world,
This world on fire
What happened to your desire
How did you think that I would feel?
Didn't you think I was for real?
I know it's been so long since then
But it's time I sent this letter to my friend

We had dreams and schemes
That they laughed about
But we didn't care anyway
I feel hurt and confused
When I think of you
Where do you stand my friend, is it too late?
We stayed up all night and talked about life
We seemed so sober those days
We stood side by side
And I don't know why you threw it away
What can you say?

We could have made that change,
We could have set this world,
This world on fire
What happened to your desire
How did you think that I would feel?
Didn't you think I was for real?
I know it's been so long since then
But I guess I send this letter
it's time I send this letter to my friend

Well I'm gonna make that change
I'm gonna set this world
This world on fire
Who cares about your pretty desires

I'm gonna make that change
I'm gonna set this world
This world on fire
So who cares about your pretty desires

At times I think you seved injustice
Sometimes I take it blessing alone
At times I feel so disserviced
Other times Thank God alone
Was it a gift of independence?
To find my own self as a whole
But mostly I think you were selfish
Not knowing these answers at all

Which one was it?
Whichever it shall be
Which one was it?
To be kind or displease
I really wanna know it
With silence I'm not free
Which one was it?

But now In a flash I realize
Experience wisdom to know
Did this myself in conquer
The worm of your cavernous soul

Which one was it?
Whichever itshall be
Which one was it?
To be kind of displease
I really wanna know it
With silence I'm not free
Can I let go of it?
Can you answer truthfully?

Don't you remember?
You never did answer me
Left to interpret alone
Don't you remember?
I never got an answer
Can I try to resolve?
I really wanna know it
With silence I'm not free
Can I let go of it?
Can you answer truthfully?

But now in a flash I realize
Experience wisdom to know
Did this myself to conquer
The worm of your cavernous soul

Which one was it?
Now I really don't care
Which one was it?
Hope I never ask that question again
