Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have seen peace
I have seen pain
Resting on the shoulders of your name
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about it any more
Lie here on the floor
And cry
On my shoulder
I'm a friend
[Verse 2]
I have seen birth
I have seen death
Lived to see a lover's final breath
Do you see my guilt?
Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about it once again
On you I depend
I'll cry
On your shoulder
You're a friend
[Bridge]
You and I have lived through many things
I'll hold on to your heart
I wouldn't cry for anything
But don't go tearing your life apart
[Verse 3]
I have seen fear
I have seen faith
Seen the look of anger on your face
[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about what will be
Come and sit with me
And cry
On my shoulder
I'm a friend
[Chorus]
And if you want to talk about it any more
Lie here on the floor
Cry
On my shoulder
Once again
Cry
On my shoulder
I'm a friend
