Real Friends

Miley Cyrus · Other Songs - Miley Cyrus

I thought we were friends

I must have been wrong

We were best friends for much to long

I don't wish you were here

I wish you were gone

That you'd go away and move along



I know you said sorry

You know what you did was wrong

But you did it anyway

And you can't take back the damage you've done



I thought I could trust you

But now I have to find someone else to talk to

Get some friends you'll like and trust

Because this one didn't turn out so great



I can't believe you did that to me

You wouldn't like it if someone did it to you, you'll see baby
