James Blake - Friends That Break Your Heart (Official Piano Version)

Shot and Edited by: Josh Stadlen

Lyrics:

I have haunted many photographs
In the background, and the fore
And as many loves that have crossed my path
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
In the end, it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart

Well fair do’s
Nobody prepares you and nobody’s prepared
Nobody’s prepared
And they tell you, “Just you wait it kills you”
And only love can break you
More the more you care

And all and all in love is fair
But it’s not fair

I have haunted many photographs
In the background, in the fore
And as many loves that have crossed my path
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart

And I’ve pushed myself to be vulnerable
And then slept with one eye wide
All that pain and nothing gained in the end

In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
In the end it was friends
It was friends who broke my heart
