I could have treated you better 
But you couldn't have treated me worse 
But it's he who laughs last 
Is he who cries first 
Sometimes I feel I know strangers 
Better than I know my friends 
Why must a beginning 
Be the means to an end 

The stones from my ennemies 
These wounds will mend 
But I cannot survive 
The roses from my friends 

When the last word has been spoken 
(And) we've beared witness to the final setting sun 
All that shall remains is a token 
Of what we've said and done 
When all we've had has been forsaken 
Distant church bells no longer ring 
That's the sound of a heart taken 
And the story of tears from a king 

The stones from my ennemies 
These wounds will mend 
But I cannot survive 
The roses from my friends 

This may be the last time I see you 
Forgive me for holding you close 
This may be the last time I see you 
So of this moment I will make the most 
This may be the last time I see you 
But if you keep me in your heart 
Together we shall be eternal 
If you believe we shall never part 

The stones from my ennemies 
These wounds will mend 
But I cannot survive 
The stones from my ennemies 
These wounds will mend 
But I cannot survive 
I cannot survive 
Oh- I cannot survive 
The roses from my friends
