Roses From My Friends - Ben Harper

I could have treated you better but you couldn't have treated me worse but it's he who 
laughs last is he who cries first.Sometimes I feel I know strangers better than I know my 
friends why must a beginning be the means to an end 
The stones from my enemies these wounds will mend but I cannot survive the roses from my 
friends 
When the last word has been spoken and we've beared witness to the final setting sun all 
that shall remain is a token of what we've said and done.When all we've had has been 
forsaken distant church bells no longer ring that's the sound of a heart taken and the story 
of tears from a king 
The stones from my enemies these wounds will mend but I cannot survive the roses from my 
friends 
This may be the last time I see you forgive me for holding you close this may be the last 
time that I see you so of this moment I will make the most.This may be the last time I see 
you but if you keep me in your heart together we shall be eternal if you believe we shall 
never part 
The stones from my enemies these wounds will mend but I cannot survive the roses from my 
friends
