I bit my tongue, I never talked too much   I tried to be so strong   I did my best, I used the gentle touch   I've done it for so long      You put me down but I can laugh it off   And act like nothing's wrong   But why pretend, I think I've heard enough   Of your familiar song      I tell you what I'm gonna do   I'll try to take my mind off you   And now that you don't need my help   I'll use the time to think about myself      You're not aware of what you put me through   But now the feeling's gone   But I don't mind do what you have to do   You don't fool anyone      I'll tell you what I'm going to do   I'll take a different point of view   And now that you don't need my help   I'll use the time to think about myself      The definition of friendship apparently ought to be   Showing support for the one that you love   And I was open to friendship   But you didn't seem to have any to spare   While you were riding to Vanity Fair      There was a time when every day was young   The sun would always shine   We sang along when all the songs were sung   Believing every line      That's the trouble with friendship for someone to feel it   It has to be real or it wouldn't be right   And I keep hoping for friendship   But I wouldn't dare to presume it was there   While you were riding to Vanity Fair      While you were riding to Vanity Fair   While you were riding to Vanity Fair   While you were riding to Vanity Fair
