CORRECT LYRICS
Lyrics : Lovers & Friends
I still want to hold you
But I’m glad to know you more
The wounds I’ve got are mine alone to mend
It’s a poverty of spirit that settles every score
And a lover’s not so precious as a friend
A lover might inspire
All the dreams that you reflect
But everyone’s a liar
When there’s too much to protect
You only get a few
Who might forgive all you pretend
And a lover’s not so precious as a friend
When you’re grinning like a bandit
And your eyes arе stolen jewels
I think pеrhaps I’ll love you once again
But that kind of thinking’s foolish
And this life won’t suffer fools
And a lover’s not so precious as a friend
A friend that sees you changing
Like a person’s bound to do
Might even know you better when your transformation’s through
And when they’re free of all the hopes on which your bitterness depends
No a lover’s not so precious as a friend
No a lover's not so precious as a friend
No a lover's not so precious
But I’m glad to know you more
The wounds I’ve got are mine alone to mend
It’s a poverty of spirit that settles every score
And a lover’s not so precious as a friend
A lover might inspire
All the dreams that you reflect
But everyone’s a liar
When there’s too much to protect
You only get a few
Who might forgive all you pretend
And a lover’s not so precious as a friend
When you’re grinning like a bandit
And your eyes arе stolen jewels
I think pеrhaps I’ll love you once again
But that kind of thinking’s foolish
And this life won’t suffer fools
And a lover’s not so precious as a friend
A friend that sees you changing
Like a person’s bound to do
Might even know you better when your transformation’s through
And when they’re free of all the hopes on which your bitterness depends
No a lover’s not so precious as a friend
No a lover's not so precious as a friend
No a lover's not so precious
