Old Friend
Echoes of Betrayal: Ryan Willis' 'Old Friend' Unveils Broken Bonds
Lyrics
I thought you were my friend
I believed you were my friend
But I guess that I was wrong
My assumption was incorrect
This friendship we have
The friendship has lasted too long
Has just gone on for too long
It's time to end this relationship
You used to tell me everything
You shared everything with me
Even from the worst to best
Ranging from the worst to the best
Although I was your best friend
Even though I was your best friend
Your feelings were still suppressed
Your emotions were hidden
I'd comfort you
I provided comfort
Always give a shoulder just to cry on
Always offering a shoulder to cry on
Cause that's what best friends do
Because that's what best friends do
They aren't there for you to walk on
Friendship shouldn't be taken for granted
I don't know what to do
I'm uncertain about how to proceed
Because you never want to talk
You avoid conversations
But I guess you're just an old friend now
You're now just an old friend
You're just an old friend now
Repetition emphasizing the shift in the relationship
You're just an old friend now
-You're just an old friend now
-You never cared
You never showed genuine concern
And you never will
Your lack of care persists
Me and you we're so close
Repetition reinforcing feelings of betrayal and uncaring attitude
I don't get how you could lie
-Directly to my face
-You looked me dead in the fucking eyes
-I can't believe the things you did
-Talking shit behind my back
-The lying, the betrayal
-There's trust i've always lacked
-I feel like i've been backstabbed
-Multiple times by you
-But you didn't care who you hurt
-Because there were things that you went through
-That is not an excuse
-To fuck around with my feelings
-That's why you're just an old friend now
-You're just an old friend now
-You're just an old friend now
-You're just an old friend now
-You never cared
-And you never will
-It's crazy how you're gone now
Expressing the realization of parting ways with the friend
After i've known you for so long
-But beggars can't be choosers
-Am I wrong?
-I only wanted the best for you
-But you never cared to listen
-In the end of all this shit
-I'll be the only one you're missin'
-Time to say bye
-Cause you're not in my future
-The number of fakes in my life
-Will only now be fewer
-I'll just be living my life
-The way I always have without you
-The old friend who never cared
-Damn...
-You're just an old friend now
Reiteration of the friend being now just an old acquaintance
You're just an old friend now
-You're just an old friend now
-You never cared
-And you never will
Emphasizing the persistent lack of care from the friend
