Bad Best Friend

(album: The Proximity Effect - 1998)

I only wanna say things that are pure
Now I won't be talking anymore
I only wanna do things that are true
Every time I move I'm hurting you

I wanna know what is it that you do
To keep from hurting anyone but you?

'Cause I still say your name when I don't feel right
Just like I used to
And if most people fade to gray and black
You'll fade to light blue

I only wanna say things that are pure
Now I won't be talking anymore
I only wanna do things that are true
Every time I move I'm hurting you

I think too much and then start talking mean
Where did I get all these selfish genes?

Best friends, best friends, I'm a bad best friend
Best friends, best friends, I'm a bad best friend

I'll meet you today
When no one is watching
We'll throw our money away
I'll meet you today

'Cause I still say your name when I don't feel right
Just like I used to
And if most people fade to gray and black
You'll fade to light blue

Ah la la la, ah la la la, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ah la la la, ah la la la, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

I only wanna say things that are pure
Now I won't be talking anymore
I only wanna do things that are true
Every time I move I'm hurting you

Best friends, best friends, I'm a bad best friend
Best friends, best friends, I'm a bad best friend

Ah la la la, ah la la la, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ah la la la, ah la la la, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
