Old Friend

Hey there, old friend
Still got that heavy grace
Walking into now
With the past still in your face

Voice thick of gloom
Stories of despair
Your words cuts deep though
’Cause I know there’s truth in there

You open up a box
That holds all my fears
Then flood me with the thoughts
I’ve tried to hide for years

I’d rather look away
But somehow I don’t flee
‘Cause now and then I do feel more
When you sit and talk with me

My old friend
My old friend
We meet again

You bring out my mess
Like it’s some kind of art
I’d love to scream “Just leave me be!”
But you know your way around my heart

You find where it hurts
Where my wild thoughts grow
If I’m honest with myself
You help me feel whole

Food don’t taste the same
Till hunger’s had its say
Love won’t fill your heart
Until give it every day

You won’t know what’s real
Till you own your truth
Life turns into magic
When there’s nothing left to prove

My old friend
My old friend
We meet again

My old friend
My old friend
We meet again

My old friend
My old friend
We met today
