Friends Like These

from The Hound by Jacob Schmelzer

/

lyrics

Verse 1
With friends like these 
Who needs enemies 
The knife in my back 
The pain in my chest I feel it 

Pre-Chorus 1
All the time in the back of my mind 
How have we fallen so far 
Can You take our wayward hearts 
And bring us back again 

Chorus 1
With friends like these 
Who needs enemies 
With friends like me 
Who needs enemies 

Verse 2
All of us like sheep have scattered 
Gone our own way 
See the suffering 
And walk on by 
We break and we are broken 
We take and offer tokens 
Live in silence and let this violence 
Rule our hearts 

Pre-Chorus 2
All the time in the back of my mind 
How have we fallen so far 
Can You take our wayward hearts 
And bring us back again 

Chorus 2
With friends like these 
Who needs enemies 
With friends like me 
Who needs enemies 

Bridge
You took these ashes and gave us beauty in return 
You took our suffering upon Your shoulders 
You carried the weight of our despair 
You took friends like these and reconciled enemies 
You took a friend like me and reconciled an enemy 
What kind of love 
What kind of love is this
