Roses From My Friends Lyrics - The Will To Live - Ben Harper

I could have treated you better 

but you couldn't have treated me worse 

but it's he who laughs last 

is he who cries first 

Sometimes I feel I know strangers 

better than I know my friends 

why must a beginning 

be the means to an end 

The stones from my enemies 

these wounds will mend 

but I cannot survive 

the roses from my friends 

When the last word has been spoken 

and we've beared witness to the final setting sun 

all that shall remain is a token 

of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken 

distant church bells no longer ring 

that's the sound of a heart taken 

and the story of tears from a king 

The stones from my enemies 

these wounds will mend 

but I cannot survive 

the roses from my friends 

This may be the last time I see you 

forgive me for holding you close 

this may be the last time that I see you 

so of this moment I will make the most 

This may be the last time I see you 

but if you keep me in your heart 

together we shall be eternal 

if you believe 

we shall never part
