I just watched as you twist and turn
And slowly pulled away
Why did I let you down
Why did I lose the only joy I've found

I may lose a lover
Maybe a chance at those wedding bells
But what scares me most darling
Is losing the best friend I ever had

Like honey turned sour 
Like a river run dry
It's not that I've cheated on you
But I've been cheating you for so long
Why do I refuse when you give
Why do I keep everything you need

I may be your lover
Treating you like Prince Charming
But there's something I can't do darling
That's be a best friend like you

Like Lazarus' eyes 
Like the prisoner set free
Like the dawn when it's breaking anew 
I've seen the glory of God
Because of you
Because of you
