[Verse 1] Trust a friend as if a fault line Judge him as you would a book Love him as you could a thistle Could a liar, could a crook [Chorus 1] If a friend If a friend [Verse 2] Hold him close enough to cut you Grant him faith to ease the hurt Praise him for his thoughtless actions As you drag his bleeding heart through dirt [Chorus] Ahhh if a friend If a friend [Verse 3] Make him think he owed you conscious Twist his eye to see a tear Slowly turn your back and leave him Leave him lonely show him fear [Chorus 3]
If a friend If a friend [Verse 4] End his wounds with salt and gravel Laughing at his screaming face At his back with loaded daggers Wipe his tears with shiny razor blades [Bridge] Trust me i understand Look at these eyes Would these f** you over If your an enemy maybe But not if your a friend [Chorus] Ahh if a friend If a friend [Verse 5] Be a**ured should he be fatal Talk of d**h and rape the land Share with him as if a junky If a loser, if a friend [Outro] If a friend Trust me you stupid fool s** my a**
