Good Friends Are Hard to Find
I wish you the most success
More than I could ever have
I wish you the most happiness
And good friends are hard to find
Don't make the mistakes I've made
And if you do don't be afraid
The greatest lie that there is
Is to believe what they all say
Social loners and deadbeat hacks
I open my arms for you
Cynical romantics want their money back
And you know much more
Than I ever knew
Even though I pretended to
Churchgoers wait for the bells to chime
And I'm in a non-defeatist state of mind
I know you'll shine in the limelight
God knows you've done it before
All the girls who dig all your mental scars
And the boys who pat you on the back
You and I may take a different path
But I'll still be cheering you on
You know much more
Than I ever knew
Even though I pretended to
I wish you the most success
More than I could ever have
I wish you the most happiness
And good friends are hard to find
Good friends are hard to find
