Maybe the swing will slow down and you'll hear,
In my words, don't say goodbye, but come back.
Egoists are our only friends with whom we are friends unselfishly.

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am.
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies.
A handsome young knight is madly in love with a princess. And she, too, is in love with him, though she seems not to be entirely aware of it. Despite the friendship... that blossoms between them, or perhaps because of that very friendship, the young knight finds himself so... so humbled and speechless that he's totally unable to bring up the subject of his love. Till one day, he asks the princess point-blank... Is it better to speak or to die?
Explanation:
the earliest close match appeared in a speech by Reverend C. R. Durrant in 1924. But QI believes that the saying evolved over time, and it was not coined by an identifiable individual. Walter Winchell included the saying in his column in 1933, and he can be credited with popularizing the saying.

Because you're right, Sabine. Because that is what best friends do. They... nudge each other.
I'd rather lose my job than my friend.
Your happiness is a part of my happiness.
