A Letter from a Friend Lyrics

	Precious thing
	I long for nothing more
	Than to be your friend
	But I am not good
	As you are
	For I think
	Where I should feel
	And I am not
	Innocent
	As you would think
	For I try
	To turn your head
	And I never stop
	And I see you happy
	And I wish you well
	But in my wish
	Is my invitation
	To a different dream
	And I wonder
	If I care for you at all
	Not to leave you alone
	Where you are
	Content
	And I long for nothing more
	Than to be your friend
	But if you accept my gift
	You will ruin it
	And I will not give you
	What I promised
	Because
	I can’t
	But I will always
	Offer
	And I will always
	Deny it
	Because I have a most convenient
	Guise
	Of friendship
	Should you slip
	I should slay you
	Like all the others
	And still I rain
	And say "walk my way"
	Because I adore
	Where I have no right
	But I ask you to become
	Worse than you are
	And neglect to mention
	That I adore the part of you
	That does not
	Love me
	For I long for nothing more
	Than to be your friend
	Yet I long for everything
	Friends will never be
	I think I may be
	Cruel
	But if I harm none I am
	Only evil
	And it hurts not to know if I am
	Terrible
	Or only
	In love

	Precious thing
	I long for nothing more
	Than to be your friend
