When I met you at a low ebb
I liked you
I wanted to get to know you worse
On our first adventure we shared
A lot of drugs
a lot of shrugs
not a lot of words
Evidently we had terrible luck
We were on the same page of a different book

I would hurt you if I could
I would hurt you if I could
You know it just might do you good
You know it just might do you good
You said I'll always be your friend
I said I'll always be your friend
But that was now and this is then

Following on from our conversation
We agreed that what you need is somebody to provide
It may appear an apparent contradiction but
These days you've got to wait to be taken by surprise
Pity it didn't materialize
It's lucky that I'm so good at goodbyes


I would hurt you if I could
I would hurt you if I could
You know it just might do you good
You know it just might do you good
You said I'll always be your friend
I said I'll always be your friend
But that was now and this is then

If your lies are anything to go by you're alright
And if your eyes are capable of such lies you'll do fine
If your considering continuing in the bloodline
I just might
I just might

I would hurt you if I could
I would hurt you if I could
You know it just might do you good
You know it just might do you good
You said I'll always be your friend
I said I'll always be your friend
But that was now and this is then
But that was now and this is then
(But that was now and this is then)
