You were my best friend
Without a doubt
But now you left me stranded
Cuz' you chose your image over me
You ran so far away from your problems
You fell off the side of the world
And splashed into the ocean
But you can't even swim
You talk the talk but can't walk to save your life
You say we're best friends when in my back's a knife
I saw you drowning, it caught my eye
But it really tore my heart in two
I couldn't help myself I had to help you
So, I reached out my hand
And yelled "Hold on tight!"
You said don't help me
So now I can't be sorry
You talk the talk but can't walk to save your life
You say we're best friends when in my back's a knife
The one thing I learned after writing this song
Is no matter how hard life gets
Things will always be okay
