Before we took the paintings off the wall

I'd come up with a reason just to call

Before my shoulders sterile to the touch

Adore you but you're asking way too much

I won't

Won't stop

Hesitating

When you hold my hand

My friend

My friend

My friend

Two shots

One chance

Asphyxiated

Did you hold me back

Might have

Might have

Might have

Before I started stuttering my words

I'd recognise the singing of the birds

I'm glad you found a way to have some fun

I'll be out front come find me when you're done

I won't

Won't stop

Hesitating

When you hold my hand

My friend

My friend

My friend

Two shots

One chance

Asphyxiated

Did you hold me back

Might have

Might have

Might have
