I Used To Have A Best Friend
Asking Alexandria · Stand Up And Scream [2009]
But I don't believe a word of it
You loved it when my heart stopped
So you start to listen
Just sit and listen
Don't test my words
Just believe
Like I did believe
Who am I to say I miss you
Fall Amy fly
You can't lie your way out of this one
Put faith aside
We have know way of knowing how short out tie is
Before the Devil knows your dead
There will be blood
There will be blood
Now you know just how I feel
Fall Amy fly
You can't lie your way out of this one
Oh baby just maybe you're not the one
You never were
It was all sympathy and simple words of nothingness
