My old friend said to me That I ain't bein' what I'm supposed to be Well I don't know, it 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 Well 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 Don't let this be the reason you would walk away
