Best Friend
Amy Winehouse Lyrics

I can't wait to get away from you
It's clear that there's tension and dislike between us, and I'm eagerly anticipating the moment when I can distance myself from you

Unsurprisingly you hate me too
It's no surprise that you also have negative feelings towards me

We only communicate when we need to fight
Our discussions always escalate into arguments and it seems like that's the only time we talk to each other

But we are best friends right?
Despite our constant disagreements and problems, we still hold onto the label of 'best friends'

You're too good at pretending you don't care
You're skilled at hiding your emotions and acting as if you're not affected by our issues

There's enough resentment in the air
The atmosphere is filled with bitterness and hostility

You don't want me in the flat When you're home at night
You'd rather not have me in our shared living space, especially when you're there

But we're best friends right?
Despite your desire to be away from me, we still cling to the label of 'best friends'

You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
We have distinct personalities and roles in each other's lives

You know what all my faces mean
You can easily read and understand my emotions and reactions

And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
We use substances to escape and avoid dealing with the problems we're facing

Everything that happened in between
We're choosing to overlook or ignore all the things that have gone wrong in our friendship

Nicky's right when he says I can't win
Someone else has pointed out that I'm not going to come out on top in our conflicts

So I don't wanna tell you anything
I'm hesitant to confide in you and share my thoughts and feelings

I can't even think about how you feel inside
I'm so wrapped up in my own emotions and problems that I can't imagine what you might be experiencing

But we are best friends, right?
Despite all the reasons we shouldn't be, we still hold onto the label of 'best friends'

I don't like the way you say my name
Your tone or demeanor when saying my name is unpleasant or bothersome

You're always looking for someone to blame
You have a tendency to place blame or responsibility on others, rather than looking inward

You want me to suffer just 'cause you was born wide
You seem to enjoy making my life difficult or painful, for no reason other than your own enjoyment

But we are best friends right?
Despite your desire to cause me suffering, we still hold onto the label of 'best friends'

I had love for you when I was four
Our friendship goes back to childhood, when we were still innocent and carefree

And there's no one I wanna smoke with more
Despite our problems, I still prefer spending time with you and using substances to escape our issues

Someday I'll buy the Rizla, so you get the dro
I'll take care of buying the rolling papers, so you can provide the weed

'Cause we are best friends right, right, right?
As if repeating it will make it true, we still hold onto the label of 'best friends'

Because we are best friends right?
Despite everything, we still hold onto the label of 'best friends'

Because we are best friends right?
Despite all evidence to the contrary, we still hold onto the label of 'best friends'
