Lyrics
All eyes in front to me
Come on this where to be
It's a song about some one you know
That's not your friend
Don't think that you don't owe
And explanation for the way you been
Weigh in on what you don't know
And reality wins
Hey - I got Friends - Friends that are better than you
Come on tell me what you see
You know where you need to be
Cut free from the one you know
It's better in the end
So don't think that I don't know
About the sorry state your living in
Come in I'll tell you where to go
I'll say it with a grin
Hey - I got Friends - Friends that are better than you
Just when I think I couldn't go
Much lower than I ever been
I look out on all the one's I know
And I see my friends (yeah).
Hey - I got Friends - Friends that are better than you
