Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you want to be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
[Verse 2]
The observation I'm doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread
[Verse 3]
What do you know?
It happened again
[Verse 4]
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
Friendship is an end
[Verse 5]
What do you know?
It happened again
[Verse 6]
How come no one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
[Verse 7]
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?
[Verse 8]
What do you know?
It happened again
What do you know?
