  • Save your promises until we meet again
    You can save all your promises 'til the bitter end
    What is real? I'm asking for a friend
    What is real? I'm asking for a friend
    Or is this the end?

    Give me a reason, show me a sign
    Ugliest truth or the prettiest lie

    I feel it fading away, fading on you
    Searching for something to pray, words I could use
    Lay your worry down
    Lay your worry down

    Save your promises 'til we meet again
    You can save all your promises until the bitter end
    What is real? I'm asking for a friend
    What is real? I'm asking for a friend
    Or is this the end?

    When you're alone, am I a part of you?
    Am I a part of you?
    Am I a part of you?
    You're not alone, I am a part of you
    I am a part of you
    When I'm apart from you

    I feel it wearing away, wearing on you
    Searching for something to pray, words I could use
    To lay your worry down

    Save your promises 'til we meet again
    You can save all your promises until the bitter end
    What is real? I'm asking for a friend
    What is real? I'm asking for a friend
    Or is this the end?

    Give me a reason, show me a sign
    Ugliest truth or your prettiest lie
    Free you from burden, take what I give
    Take it away now, permission to live

    Save your promises 'til we meet again
    You can save all your promises until the bitter end
    What is real? (Save your promises)
    I'm asking for a friend
    What is real? (Save all your promises)
    I'm asking for a friend
    Or is this the end? Writer/s: Chris Shiflett, Dave Grohl, Ilan Rubin, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee
