I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you 'Cause I’ll forget but I’ll never forgive you Don’t you know, don’t you know? True friends stab you in the front It’s funny how Things work out Such a bitter irony Like a kick right to the teeth It fell apart Right from the start But I couldn’t even see The forest for the trees (I’m afraid you asked for this) You got a lot of nerve But not a lot of spine You made your bed When you worried about mine This ends now I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you 'Cause I’ll forget but I’ll never forgive you Don’t you know, don’t you know? True friends stab you in the front I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you You broke my heart and there’s nothing you can do And now you know, now you know True friends stab you in the front It’s kind of sad 'Cause what we had Well it could of been something I guess it wasn't meant to be So how dare you Try and steal my flame Just 'cause yours faded Well hate is gasoline A fire fueling all my dreams (I’m afraid you asked for this) You got a lot of nerve But not a lot of spine You made your bed When you worried about mine This ends now I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you 'Cause I’ll forget but I’ll never forgive you Don’t you know, don’t you know? True friends stab you in the front I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you You broke my heart and there’s nothing you can do And now you know, now you know True friends stab you in the front You can run But you can’t hide Time won’t help you 'Cause karma has no deadline You can run But you can’t hide Time won’t help you 'Cause karma has no deadline I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you 'Cause I’ll forget but I’ll never forgive you Don’t you know, don’t you know? True friends stab you in the front I wouldn’t hold my breath if I was you You broke my heart and there’s nothing you can do And now you know, now you know True friends stab you in the front And now you know, now you know True friends stab you in the front And now you know, now you know True friends stab you in the front
