Theme
A song about betrayal and false friendship. It contrasts a period when the friend seemed reliable with the present, where they exhibit disloyalty and self-interest. The core message is a moral warning against treachery: **'Don't ever turn your back on a friend'**, highlighting the pain of being stolen from and repeatedly taken advantage of by someone you trusted.
Lyrics
Solo - Chris
When things were **good** I know you would always be there for me
Yes, It's true; **friends like you are few and far between**
I wish I may, I wish I might, the things you do ain't quite right
Just ain't right
And still we try to **pretend**
That you will be here in the end
The **best advice that I can lend**
**Don't ever turn your back on a friend**
**Don't turn your back...**
Solo - Chris
Solo - Dave
When things were **bad** you always had **something else better to do**
It's just a **lie** to think that I could ever mean anything to you
You **steal what's mine** then **help me look for it**;
how many times do I **pay for it**? How many times?
And still we try to **pretend**
That you will be here in the end
The **best advice that I can lend**
**Don't ever turn your back on a friend**
And still we try to **pretend**
That you will be here in the end
The **best advice that I can lend**
**Don't ever turn your back on a friend**
**Don't turn your back...**
Solo - Chris
