Best Friend Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ashton]
Even every time that I'm mad at you
I would still bury that body for you
I would take a shovel, dig it six feet under
Swear to God I wouldn't tell another
Even every time that you got the flu
I'm not scared at all to get close to you
I don't run away when your face says, "Achoo"
But I run to get you a tissue

[Pre-Chorus: All]
I don't count the days
Most people I hate

[Chorus: All]
You're my best friend
No, I didn't stutter till the day end
Through heaven and high water
Ooh, it kills me not to tell you
You're my best friend
My, my best friend

[Verse 2: Ashton, Ashton & Luke]
Remember when your parents went out of town?
They were dumb enough to leave us with the house
We had a hundred people naked on the sofa
Dancing till the cops said, "Game over"
Turns out that it was Jerry's dad
So we did shots while we rode in the back
He'd even let us all use the siren
It was the best night, I'm not lyin'

[Pre-Chorus: All]
I don't count the days
Most people I hate

[Chorus: All]
You're my best friend
No, I didn't stutter till the day end
Through heaven and high water
Ooh, it kills me not to tell you
You're my best friend
My, my best friend

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude: All]
Ooh
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus: Ashton]
Most people I hate
(Hate, hate, hate, hate)

[Chorus: All]
You're my best friend
No, I didn't stutter till the day end
Through heaven and high water
Ooh, it kills me not to tell you
You're my best friend
My, my best friend
[Outro: All, Ashton]
Ooh, ooh
You're my best friend
Ooh, ooh
You're my best friend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
