"...Hey, how are you doing? Remember me? Come on, Brian Goulart doesn't ring a bell? We knew each other since we were both zero..."

Me, your best friend,
To be there 'till the end,
It won't fade,
The memories we made,
But now it's just pretend.

I can remember elementary
When I knew half the dictionary
When we played games like pictionary
And when we believed in the cooties and the tooth fairy.
I see that garage, the one next door,
That is your house, that's your tile floor,
We hung out there almost every day
We were never bored, 'cause that wasn't our way.
We played those games in our backyard,
My sister, the Princess, was stolen and taken far,
By me the wizard, with powers old and new,
Remember when I fought the warrior? Always done by you.
Then I'd lose the epic battle, and you'd let the Princess free,
You see that tree? Remember that tree? After the game I'd run to that tree,
And declare a game of hide-and-go-seek,
And we played until our knees were too weak,
That's when we collapsed on that chair,
That black and gray chair,
And we just talked, our feelings open and bare,
Our issues on display for only true friends to stare,
Only true friends to worry and only true friends to care.
True friends were we to be,
Only you and me.

Me, your best friend,
To be there 'till the end,
It won't fade,
The memories we made,
But now it's just pretend.

We left the fifth grade,
Nothing stayed the same,
No longer in the same school,
Met people old and new.
And then we started to change,
I started to go insane,
No acceptance
Total rejection,
Until the seventh grade.
We hung out now and then,
On the occasional weekend.
And we'd talk, nothing to hide,
I've yet something to keep inside,
I was strong, I was smart, I was the best of my time.
At the height of everything I was loaded with pride.
I had a crush on a girl in class, and I would tell you,
You would laugh, I would blush, then I cracked a grin alongside you.
We drank our Coke's and told of funny stories,
Craziness in the neighborhood and our own birthday glories.
Summer after seventh came, and I was packing for the trip,
You rang the front door and asked if you could come in,
I agreed like I always would, always full of my joy,
You walked in holding hands with some other boy.
I smile on the outside, but inside I growl,
And thought that if it wasn't for her I would turn him inside and out.
It wasn't until you loved him I realized I loved you,
Tried to shake it off, but the jealousy stayed true,
And after formalities were done and I shut that front door,
My body felt sore,
I sunk to the floor,
Buried my face in my hands and asked God what I should do.
Because true friends were we to be,
Used to be you and me.

Me, your best friend,
To be there 'till the end,
It won't fade,
The memories we made,
But now it's just pretend.

We're in eighth grade,
And now it's all too strange
We have hardly ever been inside your garage now,
I would walk by and I ask God why and how,
Does it have to be like this, what in Heaven are Thy reasons?
I'm losing her and I feel like ripping her boyfriend to pieces.
But no, that would break her heart, that's the last thing I want,
She's my best friend, the only true one I got,
But now I don't know, and I am scared inside,
On the rare occasion that we'd chat I had something to hide.
Tried to stop loving her, tried to break the system,
But found success in loving her more, now I love her like a sister.
Present time, we're in highschool,
Same campus this time, but I underestimated the situation like a stupid fool.
I don't know who she is now, she's got friends from back in the day,
And everytime she kisses her boyfriend she pushes me farther away.
It's all falling apart, starting from the core,
She doesn't look at me like I matter anymore.
Why am I crying?
Why don't I stop trying?
There was a time the two of us dreamed of flying,
Do you remember, or do you believe that I am lying?
I am scared to lose you,
I don't know what to do,
I want it how it used to be,
When it used to be you and me.
Don't let me go,
You have to know,
You're the best friend I've ever had,
You make me feel great again whenever I feel bad.
But now I fear that our friendship is in danger,
I'm looking for my best friend and all I found was a stranger.
True friends we used to be,
And now it's just me.

Me, your best friend,
To be there 'till the end,
It won't fade,
The memories we made,
But now it's just pretend.

Was always there,
Whenever you were scared,
But just wait,
Hope you appreciate,
That I have always cared.
