She was my best friend
My start and finish to the day
I was round at her house
We talked too loud and put the world to right
We did things our way
But her reflection in the mirror was all wrong
And looking back, I was pretty stupid then
A lesson learned
Joy
I moved on
Joy
Then there were the phone calls
She was on a roof
Somewhere we couldn't find her
We didn't look, as if we needed proof
Thought that she was joking
Just being the drama queen
Her dad hit her when she got home
She didn't tell us anything
A lesson learned
Joy
I never knew what he'd done
Joy
The most beautiful face that I had ever seen
I had no idea the trouble she was in
And I should have noticed she was so thin
But I can't save her now
She was my best friend
(When my world was innocent)
I should've listened
(How I miss the time we spent)
She was my best friend
And I'm still here counting the cost
Marking the distance
From what we had to what we both lost
And I always wanted to look just like her
How could I understand how much her beauty hurt?
When my world was innocent
How I miss the time we spent
She was my best friend
And I'm still here counting the cost
Marking the distance
From what we had to what we both lost
She was my best friend
(When my world was innocent)
I should've listened
(How I miss the time we spent)
She was my best friend
And I'm still here counting the cost
Marking the distance
From what we had to what we both lost
From what we had to what we both lost
