You ask for my advice
And then you take a different road
You traveled oh so far
Left everyone who cared far behind
Left us all behind
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there
You saw him on the road and took the angel for a ride
He gave you confidence as you yearned for your own praise
Then took your soul away
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there
Take a chance to know
There's so much more than winning
Take a different way
Wait another day
Now it seems that it's too late and...
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there

people..i live all the way accross pacific ocean. i wonder y dont u guys listen to their whole album?ben, what a tune perfection! try this when u feel lonely n nothing to do. the next thing u know, u're head banging

^^ i love people who speak in broken english haha

I think this about his friend who is a girl (even though the name Ben??). But she asks for his advice and he tells her what he thinks, but she never follows it. And the routes she takes only lead to heartache. And he sees her always taking the easiest roads, but they're usually the worst. He cares about her, but he can't be mad that she left, cause she never said she would stay. Great lyrics.

only three entrys? I LOVE THIS SONG! It has so much power

Ben is one of my all time faves!

To me, this song is about a guy (Ben) who died in a car crush, and he was a friend of them...

yea if you look on the s/t it says in memory of Ben Thores(probly wong about the last name if someone could check) so im pretty sue it is about theyre friend who died, which makes the song so much more powerful

that's right! when you know that this song is "real" it makes you feel like... i don't know... it makes you feel funny.....it gets you heart......

This song... "How could I have ever saved you? The only thing I've ever done was cared" ~> this is like, he's been there for his friend all along; there was nothing else he could do.
"How could I have ever blamed you? You never promised that you would always be there." ~> This means that, he can't blame his friend for anything, the friend never promised him anything. It's such a good song.

I could be wrong but this verse seems to resemble a dude going out and trying drugs: I'll never know what you were thinking on that night You saw him on the road and took the angel for a ride He gave you confidence as you yearned for your own praise Then took your soul away
"and took the angel for a ride" Angel dust?
