Maybe I should make you stay away
So you can really concentrate on where you are today
When you phone, I sit and think alone
And wonder if your life with her is really as you say
Then again, you're still a friend
I'll be loyal to you 'til the end
Come to me with wounds you want to heal
I'll listen and I'll try to understand the way you feel
Never fear that I'll be gone from here
I'll always be around for you to talk to me, my dear
We can try to justify reasons for and reasons why
Some are true and some are only lies
With fingers crossed you close your eyes
And hope that things will turn out fine
There's not a lot that I can do
If you're too weak to face the truth
'Cause if the things you tell me are
The way you really claim they are
Then I can only pity you
For being such a fool

This always made me think of an woman listening to an ex-bf talk about his current relationship and how he's making the same mistakes that lost him the narrator in the first place... only he doesn't see that and she knows it's doomed like they were.
