A Letter From A Friend Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

Precious thing 

I long for nothing more 

Than to be your friend 

But I am not good 

As you are 

For I think 

Where I should feel 

And I am not innocent 

As you would think 

For I try 

To turn your head 

And I never stop 

And I see you happy 

And I wish you well 

But in my wish 

Is my invitation 

To a different dream 

And I wonder 

If I care for you at all 

Not to leave you alone 

Where you are 

Content 

And I long for nothing more 

Than to be your friend 

But if you accept my gift 

You will ruin it 

And I will not give you 

What I promised 

Because I can't 

But I will always offer 

And I will always deny it 

Because I have a most convenient 

Guise of friendship 

Should you slip 

I should slay you 

Like all the others 

And still I rain 

And say, "Walk my way" 

Because I adore 

Where I have no right 

But I ask you to become 

Worse than you are 

And neglect to mention 

That I adore the part of you 

That does not love me 

For I long for nothing more 

Than to be your friend 

Yet I long for everything 

Friends will never be 

I think I may be cruel 

But if I harm none I am only evil 

And it hurts not to know if I am terrible 

Or only in love
