True Friends Lyrics

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know? Don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front

It's funny how things work out
Such a bitter irony
Like a kick right to the teeth

It fell apart
Right from the start
But I couldn't even see
The forest for the trees
(I'm afraid you asked for this)

You got a lot of nerve
But not a lot of spine
You made your bed
When you worried about mine
This ends now

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know? Don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart
And there's nothing you can do
Now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

It's kind of sad
'Cause what we had
Well, it could have been something
I guess it wasn't meant to be

So how dare you,
Try and steal my flame,
Just 'cause yours faded?
Well hate is gasoline
A fire fuelling all my dreams
(I'm afraid you asked for this)

You got a lot of nerve
But not a lot of spine
You made your bed
When you worried about mine
This ends now

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know? Don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart
And there's nothing you can do
Now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

You can run
But you can't hide
Time won't help you
'Cause karma has no deadline

You can run
But you can't hide
Time won't help you
'Cause karma has no deadline

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know? Don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front

I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart
And there's nothing you can do
Now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

bkn, what common saying?

Cover art for True Friends lyrics by Bring Me the Horizon

is it just me or does everyone else find the video disturbing? I think it needs explaining so feel free to help out. it is a great song though. I think Oli Sykes said it was about how you know who your true friends are when you are trying to recover from a drug addiction I think?

@jonjonwinny I find it a bit confusing but it could be that the video doesnt catch my attention long enough to watch the whole video. And most of Oli Sykes songs are drig addiction so I think its safe to assume.

I like this song but I think "true friends stab you in the front" is kind of an awkward fit into the song, I understand what it means an the point hes trying to put across but I think it would sound better if it was worded differently.

My Opinion

I love this song so much! Bit off topic, but has anyone heard of the band FROM INSIDE?? Well I read on Twitter that Oli Sykes and Jordan Fish have written all the music for them cos they are good friends in the UK. Check out their music video for their single BE YOURSELF - FROM INSIDE by searching on Youtube, it sounds very BMTH but still its ridiculous good obviously. Mad that they are doing this too for friends bands now, really love them :D
