Best Friend
Left Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still wear your chain 'round my neck
Sometimes the pieces connect
When I dream I wake up a wreck
Please don't let it be over yet, over yet
It was just a month ago
When I broke down on the bathroom floor
Can't see you anymore
Best friends, this dead end
Was destined to end
I'm testing how far I can go
When my heart and my mind are always at war
Wherever you are
Whomever your with
I hope you understand
I hope you can forgive
(Blind Faith)
Come down off your throne
And leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well I
(Left Boy)
If I had one last thing to say to you
I'd say 'Whoohey remember the day'
If I had one last wish
I'd ask you to kiss these lips goodbye
If I had one last moment that I'd like to recall
I'd be in the bed with you in the morning
Not caring 'bout it all
Smile on your face
The look in your eyes
My arm around your shoulders with my fingers inter twined
Your were looking fine
I was feeling great
Living in illusions that you fall in love one day
I still wear your chain 'round my neck
Sometimes the pieces connect
When I dream I wake up a wreck
Please don't let it be over yet, over yet
It was just a month ago
When I broke down on the bathroom floor
Can't see you anymore
I don't wanna see you anymore
Best friends, this dead end
Was destined to end
I'm testing how far I can go
When my heart and my mind are always at war
Wherever you are
Whomever your with
I hope you understand
I hope you can forgive
(Blind Faith)
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home

The lyrics of Left Boy's song "Best Friend" depict the struggle of trying to move on from a past romantic relationship and maintain a friendship with the person. The line "I still wear your chain 'round my neck" represents holding onto a physical reminder of the past relationship, not being able to fully let go. However, there are still moments when the memories of the relationship hit hard, making the singer wake up feeling like a "wreck." The plea "please don't let it be over yet" shows the desire to hold onto the past and not let go of the emotional connection.
The chorus is where the conflict between the heart and the mind is most apparent - wanting to test the limits of how far the singer can go, while also acknowledging that the friendship is at a "dead end" and has to come to an end. Despite this realization, there is still hope for forgiveness and understanding. The use of Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" in the bridge underscores this sense of being lost and unable to move forward.

Not caring 'bout it all
Not worrying about anything else in the world but being with you
Smile on your face
Remembering the happiness you brought to my life
The look in your eyes
Remembering the way you used to look at me
My arm around your shoulders with my fingers inter twined
Remembering the physical closeness we shared
You were looking fine
Remembering how attractive you were to me
I was feeling great
Remembering how happy I was when we were together
Living in illusions that you fall in love one day
Holding onto the hope that one day we'll be able to reconcile and fall in love again
But I can't find my way home
Feeling lost and directionless without you
