80 proof is no excuse,
an apology so insincere,
out of your mouth,
we sing out loud for everyone to hear
(and I heard)

But in my own defense,
I feel I've been more than patient,
the one thing that I can't stand,
is the fact you show no remorse or class,
enough to own up to this mistake
(it's your mistake)

Words fell short,
as your lies grew stronger
and through it all I always loved her
when you think things are getting better,
remember we're best friends for never,
because of this I'm so much stronger,
took a while but I moved on,
so when you think things are getting better,
remember we're best friends for never

Don't initiate a conversation,
that instigates a confrontation,
I found a new best friend in hatred,
that says it's too damn late to save this,
you're so good at making bad decisions,
but even better at burning bridges,
knowing everything that I know now,
I never would have put the fire out
I'd rather watch you choke on the smoke,
from the flames,
until I know that only ashes remain
(ashes remain)

Words fell short,
as your lies grew stronger,
through it all I always loved her
when you think things are getting better,
remember we're best friends for never,
because of this I'm so much stronger,
took a while but I moved on,
so when you think things are getting better,
remember we're best friends for never

When I gave an inch,
you'd take the mile,
if I gave it you'd take it,
you claim to be the story,
and that's all you'll ever be,
just a page in your own diary,
that ain't that great to read

Words fell short,
as your lies grew stronger,
through it all I always loved her
when you think things are getting better,
remember we're best friends for never,
because of this I'm so much stronger,
took a while but I moved on,
so when you think things are getting better,
remember we're best friends for never,
remember we're best friends for never
