Thats Not The Part Of Him Youre Leaving

I have a friend

She's just a friend

...............

I tried to comfort and defend

................................................

I gave her what you might call advice

............................................................

But nothing like that comes without a price

...................

The rumour was a cruel surprise

....................

And she dissolved before my eyes

......................................................

I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined

...........................................................................................

I thought about back then when I wished that she had been mine

.......................................

There's no use in shedding any tears

..................................................

He's no good to you the way he is

.............................

He's beyond forgiving and believing

.................

Half of his heart is torn like paper

........................................

It's sweet as the syrup from the maple

......................................................

But that's not the part of him you're leaving
