I never knew..

You don't know how far you are
and it takes time to realize
it doesn't matter what you walk
you'll never find them.

And you don't seem to be enough
the unexpected will comfort you
and the ones you keep waiting for
don't ever seem to do

Your tables turn
and knowledge may hurt
those you never thought of
can let you go after all

And when you're away
words are all you have
and those who send more
just win your heart

So you realize
at the end of the day
you do have real friends
you just had the names wrong
