Lirieke: Shelter. Letter to a Friend.

We were friends since school
The punks were never cool
But we didn't care anyway

And even in the scene
When it was cool to be mean
We walked the other way
The other way

Rebels from birth this world had no worth
But then you went astray one day
And I don't think it's right
That you gave up the fight
And walked away, you ran away

We could've made that change
We could've set this world
This world on fire
What happened to your desire?

How did you think that I would feel?
Didn't you think I was for real?
I know it's been so long since then
But it's time I sent this letter to my friend

We had dreams and schemes
That they laughed about
But we didn't care anyway

I feel hurt and confused
When I think of you
Where do you stand my friend?
Is it too late?

We stayed up all night and talked about life
We seemed so sober those days
We stood side by side
And I don't know why you threw it away
What can you say?

We could've made that change
We could've set this world
This world on fire
What happened to your desires

How did you think that I would feel?
Didn't you think I was for real?
I know it's been so long since then
But I guess I'll send this letter
It's time I sent this letter to my friend

I'm gonna make that change
I'm gonna set this world
This world on fire
Who cares about your pretty desires

I'm gonna make that change
I'm gonna set this world
This world on fire
So who cares about your pretty desires
