Lyrics
BEST FRIEND GIRL
Words and music by Andru Branch & Halfway Tree © 2006
I could never foresee
A time of you without me
I always thought we’d stay together
But such is life now I know
That we are all alone in this world
Sometimes life takes a turn for the worse
Or what seems worse anyway
And wasn’t it you that taught me
That everything in life must be free
I know you had to do just what you had to do
For yourself
So should we all in this world
So don’t feel bad for me
No don’t you feel bad for me
I’m gonna be fine, yes I will
But I’m gonna miss your love
‘Cause you’re my best friend girl
You know you are my best friend
You’re my best friend girl
You would always say that
We belong together
And you had me believe that
Together was forever
But now I know, yes I do
That we are all alone in this world
One time we were on top of the world
Now it seems I’m falling to the ground
And wasn’t it me that taught you
To be brave and persevere in all you do
And now I have to do just what I have to do
For myself
And I’ll stand in Love once again
So don’t feel bad for me
No don’t you feel bad for me
I’m gonna be fine, yes I will
But I’m gonna miss your love
‘Cause you’re my best friend girl
You know you are my best friend
You’re my best friend girl
You’re my best friend girl
You know you are my best friend
You’re my best friend girl
