My old friend said to me

That I ain't being what I'm supposed to be

Well, I don't know, could be true

I know I wasn't always there for you

And now you're ready to walk out

You're ready to run

Talk to me, can't you see

I would never wanna do what it seems I've done

You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play

Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

The things you think I should do

I've never understood that part of you

You know I've tried to be a friend

But you feel undermined and hurt again

Now don't let it convince you

Please don't take it to heart

Compromise and realize

You can never really run everything you start

You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play

Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

And I guess I said I couldn't see

How things could turn out like they've come to be

And if I lied, and if I knew

I was only trying to think of you

And now you're ready to walk out

You're ready to run

Talk to me, can't you see

I would never wanna do what it seems I've done

You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play

Don't let this be the reason you would walk away

Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
