Never Take Friendship Personal Lyrics

Anberlin

There's a hatchet got a knife
And now ya hope that there's nothing real in this life
And dreams are so intoxicating, (intoxicating)
And you're doing this alone
Going real quick, going away
Words have no meaning when its you that says
I really do care, no baby I, I really do care!

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

Once a skeptic, now the critic
And you figured you've finally found a place of your own.
Amongst the cold and dimmed souls
Where only failure knows your name

Look around for the closest to blame
Look above at the hands beneath your arms
And now your 6 feet down, buried with, with your past
And fame fame fame fame.

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

Oh oh oh all your life
Tell me something more than what you've tried to hide
You can't find your self, then how an I expect to find you.
Oh oh, all you cried
Tell me something more than what you tried
The greatest tragedy is not your death
But a life without reason and life has no perils and life has no reason
(Life has no purpose!)

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

And I say go, never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
