Never
A Friend
Ok, I took these lyrics from the Open Arms single. This version of Never A Friend was recorded for the XFM session back in March of 2000 and it was also performed (a bit different as far as I can remember) for the Fanning sessions on 2FM back at the beginning of April. Its on CD2 of the Open Arms 2 CD set.

Destitute I know, Worried about the next white hope, Avon knows, Avon knows I care, But you came to hold my hand, And tried it best to like my band, Even though the boys were unaware. But she wanted more than I could ever give her from the start, And she left, No regrets, But I'm scarred.
I said OK But you said "never a friend" My eyes are closing I can't see you ever again But you left, no regrets And I'm scarred Like the rest And better enough I'll see you walking. Listen now it's true, I've met a girl who's just like you - With the same blue eyes, The same relations too. And you've guessed the story well - My roommate and my friends can tell, Are you able now? Able for the truth? But she wanted more than I could ever Give her from the start, And she left- no regrets, But I'm scarred.
I said OK But you said "never a friend", My eyes are closing, I can't see you ever again. But you left - no regrets, And I'm scarred, Like the rest, And better enough I'll see you walking.
[Solo] But she wanted more than I could ever give her from the start, And she left - no regrets, But I'm scarred.
I said OK, But you said "never a friend", My eyes are closing, I can't see you ever again, But you left - no regrets. And I'm scarred, Like the rest, And better enough I'll see you walking.
