Verse 1
All that you think
And all that you see
All those things so dark here
Are my reality
I am your king and
I am your friend
I am your lover
Until the bitter end
Verse 2
I existed
I floated out to sea
Cast out on the emptiness
For all eternity
Sailing on the waves
Blackened before me
Doomed to float alone
On this endless sea
Chorus
I would never hurt you
I am your best friend
I would never lie to you
I'm here to the end
I would never steal from you
I won't do that again
I just want to love you
Can't we still be friends
Trust me
Can't we still be friends
Look at my tears
Can't we try again
Don't I look sincere
I want to try again
I would never lie to you
I'm here to the end
If you just love me
I'm here to the end
I'll take care of you
Until the bitter end
Don't believe in what you hear
From bible toting men
He was all made up and he
Won't come again
Would I lie to you.
