And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"

Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends."

And conceal it underneath
The pile of lies you handed me

They'd be all you'd ever find
That'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine

And die just a little
And baby I would feel just a little less pain
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me"

On a member of Duran Duran"
