lyrics

Every step along the way
It doesn't matter if you stay
As long as I can meditate
As long as I can fill my plate, oh...

I can do better
I'll be your friend
I'll be just the friend you want me to
I can do better I'll be your friend
I'll be just the friend you want

In the complicated room
In my mother's home where I withdrew
I could go back to that space
Where the forest was my hiding place
If I could stand up back then
I might have not let heartbreak in
Mmmmmm

I can do better
I'll be her friend
I'll be just the friend she wants me to
I can do better I'll be her friend
I'll be just the friend she wants

Well I always look to love to save me
I consider it a drug
Oooo
But every day that I wake up
Oh I wish I had a stronger cup

If I was wise at 19
I'd'a married that man close to me
I remember him with warmth and grace
But he's probly got a different face
This memory i have of him
I'm not sure I'd let the real guy in but
When I dreamt of him last night
I felt a strange familiar lightness

I can do better I'll be his friend
I'll be just the friend he wants me to
I can do better I'll be his friend
Just the friend he wants
Oooo
