You Were My Best Friend

We were instantly friends, when we met

Late to class but you always sat next to me

I knew this would be a friendship deep and true

At 19, I knew

You were my best friend

I didn’t think it had to end

But you walked away

You said time goes by, and people change

Now it’s just like, you never knew my name

You moved away and started your new life

And I admit, I wasn’t happy in mine

So I said some things that I didn’t mean

Oh I admit, I wanted everything

You were my best friend

I didn’t think it had to end

But you walked away

You said time goes by, and people change

Now it’s just like, you never knew my name

I tried to say I’m sorry for the hurtful things I said

You brushed it off and said it’s okay instead

I know that you have your new life

And I have mine

But at least we had that short window of time

You were my best friend

I didn’t think it had to end

But you walked away

You said time goes by, and people change

Now it’s just like, you never knew my name

You were my best friend

But you walked away

You were my best friend
