I'm no more than a friend girl

I can see that you need more

my boots are on my feet now

my back is by the door

the love and the attention

that you need and ask me for

 are weakened by my absence

 and the lies that i have told

Chorus

I'm scared to think that I've abandoned you

I'd like to say that I'm a faithful man but

it may not be true

My heart is like a mason's

hand(s?) of weathered skin

each scar makes it harder

for me to hurt again

I'm scared to think that I've abandoned you

I'd like to say that I'm a faithful man but

or

Gabriella, the things that I tell ya,

are only to help ya, are they working ou---ou--out.

I have I gone, have I gone and failed ya,

oh, Gabriella, have I let you down---own...
