Jon Troast - Hurt Me Like a Good Friend Lyrics

I hear the crows calling
They scream like they're in pain
The vultures circle over
To pick up the remains
Of the things that we had planned
But that was when the birds still sang
If you could only hurt me like a good friend
Then we can make the sparrows sing again

We pass the shells of houses
But they're not coming back
The different ones we lived in
The mistakes of our past
All the things that we had planned
But that was when the birds still sang
If you could only hurt me like a good friend
Then we can make the sparrows sing and

We've all got a second story
Let's confess them all before we
Live inside an empty shell
That we don't even like ourselves
But we keep shining our outside
When long ago the inside died
Let's give each other one last try
To see if love could really fly

I know you've lived a lot of places
I know you've left a lot of towns
You're not gonna drag my heart around
I'm gonna give you ten more paces
You better aim right for my heart
If you shoot from yours then there's a start

All the things that we had planned
But that was when the birds still sang
If you could only hurt me like a good friend
Then we can make the sparrows sing again
