Friends by The Lake Poets Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've known you a long, long time
And you say you're a friend of mine
But you're the malignant kind, aren't you?
I've told you I'm on your side
I'm here for you all the time
Yet you can't make your eyes meet mine, can you?
[Chorus]
That you can't look me in the eye
I can live with
That you're acting like a child
I can live with
But that all you seem to do when I'm around
Is cross your arms and wear a frown
You're a man, why can't you act like one?
[Verse 2]
Your lips are thin and your eyes look tired
So what's eating you up inside?
I think that you'd like to hide from you
I look at you and my eyes stay dry
'Cause I've been through this many times
Now I'm cold to the world and wise of you
[Chorus]
That you can't look me in the eye
I can live with
That you're acting like a child
I can live with
But that all you seem to do when I'm around
Is cross your arms and wear a frown
You're a man, why can't you act like one?
When that all you seem to do when I'm around
When that all you seem to do when I'm around
When that all you seem to do when I'm around
Is cross your arms and wear a frown
[Outro]
You're a man, why can't you act like one?
I've known you a long, long time
And you say you're a friend of mine
But you're the malignant kind, aren't you?
I've told you I'm on your side
I'm here for you all the time
Yet you can't make your eyes meet mine, can you?
[Chorus]
That you can't look me in the eye
I can live with
That you're acting like a child
I can live with
But that all you seem to do when I'm around
Is cross your arms and wear a frown
You're a man, why can't you act like one?
[Verse 2]
Your lips are thin and your eyes look tired
So what's eating you up inside?
I think that you'd like to hide from you
I look at you and my eyes stay dry
'Cause I've been through this many times
Now I'm cold to the world and wise of you
[Chorus]
That you can't look me in the eye
I can live with
That you're acting like a child
I can live with
But that all you seem to do when I'm around
Is cross your arms and wear a frown
You're a man, why can't you act like one?
When that all you seem to do when I'm around
When that all you seem to do when I'm around
When that all you seem to do when I'm around
Is cross your arms and wear a frown
[Outro]
You're a man, why can't you act like one?
