Harder To Leave A Friend Than A Lover - Joey Tempest

I come to you

As an act of faith

Please convince me that I’m wrong

When I say we don’t belong

And it’s not too late

I sense the call

From your soul to mine

Is it meant to hurt this way

Every hour, every day

It steals our time

And it all comes clear

As if the moment draws near

That it’s harder to leave a friend than a lover

All the dreams that you have built

Leaves you with a sense of guilt

In the eyes of the other

So hear we stand

A stubborn woman, a stubborn man

Is it worth to carry on

Is it time we moved along

Have we done all we can?

And the damage done

Oh, can we overcome

Couse it’s harder to leave a friend than a lover

You might love the way you touch

But it will never mean as much

As when you care for each other

Is it all we can say?

We never wanted it this way

Cause it’s harder to leave a friend than a lover

The wounds will run so deep

And the friendship that you keep

Will never recover

Yeah, it’s harder to leave a friend than a lover

When you know someone so well

You would rather walk through hell

Before you hurt one another
