Dear Friend
Ivy Levan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've come too far to let me down
Don't you worry it'll work it's way out
No time to mess around
Don't be takin more than you can count
There's no quick fix to rid all your doubt
Find what it's all about..
I was thinking I could wait until I'm older
Not gonna listen to the devil on my shoulder
That face won't last forever
A song is here to stay
So use my voice to help communicate
What is easy isn't always what is better
Don't try to change it
Don't you let em, just remember
You get what you give in the end
My dear friend..
Look harder at the full picture
And see things you thought you'd never see
The obvious ain't always quite what it seems
One of life's trickeries
There's answers here for every question
But do you really wanna know your destiny?
The possibilities are there in your reach
Reality could be your dreams
I was thinking I could wait until I'm older
Not gonna listen to the devil on my shoulder
That face won't last forever
A song is here to stay
So use my voice to help communicate
What is easy isn't always what is better
Don't try to change it
Don't you let em, just remember
You get what you give in the end
I know they hate to see me make it on my own
But I thank you all I thank you all
There's no end to the story, we'll continue on
Stuck in your head like a bad, bad song
Because of struggle, because of pain
Because of never ending battles I will remain
Better than anyone has ever known
On my own..
I was thinking I could wait until I'm older
Not gonna listen to the devil on my shoulder
That face won't last forever
A song is here to stay
So use my voice to help communicate
What is easy isn't always what is better
Don't try to change it
Don't you let em, just remember
You get what you give in the end
My dear friend..
My dear friend..
