A letter to my old best friend Lyrics by Josiah MacCartney

2023

[Intro]
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away, in the end
[Verse]
Yeah, I've been making up lies just to haunt you
Telling myself I'm over her yeah it's overdue
Every single day you were with him being friends
I was in it for the long run never planning ends
Making up for the chaotic decisions
Left me for him now it's all down the drain
Said if I was your type you woulda been different
But I'm not the end goal I'm just the transition
[Verse]
And I don't really carе if you move on
Guess I cared a lot in high school but so what
Evеry single word I ever said never lived long
Your words are destructive so you can't see what you've done
Build you up cause to me you were famous
Starstruck by the girl who always made me feel less
Never got my words out feeling nervous
Even if I loved you I just woulda said
[Chorus]
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
No, You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
[Verse]
Yeah we would go to church I would wait for you every time
Staring at your cute face eyes look like a sunrise
Something I saw in you made me so nervous
Shaking from the withdraw you said I deserved this
Maybe I'm the worst thing in your life
But now I'm making music they calling me "star-like"
Now I'm gonna get famous without you
Damn this really hurts to write
[Verse]
Never cared about the money
Never cared about the fame
All I wanted was one thing
When she would call my name
How did I mess it up so badly
If this is war I'm in love with the enemy
Yeah, what happened to the placements?
Yeah, what happened to the days when?
All I want is my best friend
All I want is my best friend
[Chorus]
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
No, You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
[Verse]
Yeah, sometime ago I was happy
Livin life like the wind couldn't catch me
Swaying with you in parking lots
Just a joy ride to a one way stop
You were playing dumb but you kept me in the dark
Till you list everyone that you had from the start
They say I'll never heal but I loved you the most
Even when it got hard the girl with the scar on her heart
