My Friendly Enemy
I know, You know
That we're nothing but a show
From the look in your eyes is your despise
That which you try to hide with your smile From the look in your eyes
It reflects on me inside, how I try to disguise
Oh my friendly enemy
How far we've come
How short our bond
Our pretense is like a race
But we're not subtle to our game
How we, sat and joked
How we,sang and told
Ourselves that we're good
When we're not fool's
Oh my friendly enemy
Every sentence I make
You make a debate
You made fun of the artist I loved
And the things that I adored
I don't know about you
But I tried to resolve this dispute
You never listened
But kept on ranting
I wonder each day
If you hear the words you say
Oh my friendly enemy
I wish we could, out of our shell
And tell the words hidden within
The glass is full and ready to over flow
Who can suppress the water now
Ready to break the glass of our malice
And of your memories
