She Was My Best Friend

Intro – Soft soulful vocals

Oh, oh, oh...

I never thought you'd do me this way.

After all these years...

Verse 1

We shared our secrets, we shared our dreams,

You were the sister I thought I'd always need.

You knew my heart, you knew my pain,

You held my hand through sunshine and rain.

I told you everything about my love,

I thought our friendship was strong enough.

But all those smiles were just a disguise,

You were hiding something behind your eyes.

Pre-Chorus

You knew how much he meant to me,

You knew the love I couldn't see.

But you were standing in my place,

While looking me straight in the face.

Chorus

She was my best friend,

The one I trusted till the end.

How could you take the love I had?

How could you hurt me like that?

She was my best friend,

Now I don't know where we stand.

You broke my heart, you broke our trust,

And turned our friendship into dust.

Verse 2

I remember all the nights we'd talk,

Walking together around the block.

You promised me we'd never fall,

But now I don't know you at all.

I defended you when others would talk,

Never knowing you were playing your part.

I gave you love, I gave you time,

You paid me back with a thousand lies.

Bridge

Was he worth the tears I cried?

Was he worth the friendship that died?

You had my trust, you had my heart,

But you chose to tear it all apart.

Final Chorus

She was my best friend,

The one I trusted till the end.

How could you take the love I had?

How could you hurt me like that?

Outro – Layered harmonies

My best friend...

I thought you were my best friend...
