My Friends Hate Each Other

My Friends Hate Each Other - Screen Recording.mp4

This song I wrote when two of my close friends got in a giant fight with each other. In hindsight, I really don't like this song very much, not only because of the emotions I associate with it, but also because of its writing process. The chord progression of this song was essentially copied and pasted from "5th Pop Song", which was the song I wrote right before this one, and the lyrics felt quite forced when writing them. There are only a few parts of this song that I like.

My two friends stopped fighting now.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

I was walking down the street one day and

Saw one of my buddies talking

Trash about that girl who I

Found to be sweet

So I asked him what had happened between

Him and her and learned that they had

Gotten in a fight that really

Wasn't so neat

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I’m not su-ure what to think cause I

Thought everything was so nice and

Dandy I felt things were chill and

Cool among us all but now I

See what has happened and

Worry 'bout, what would end up

Happening if all this bickering went on

But I have faith that my pals will

Settle in the end because I

Really really don't want anything

To go-o wrong

Why can't all of u-us

Get along and love each other

Just like normal

[Chorus 1]

Cause when

All my friends just hate each other it

Really tears me apart inside

And when all my friends just hate each other they,

Can’t get enough of that fight

It’s rippin’ up my heartstrings and it's

Causin’ all this bleeding

Cause all my friends just hate each other and I,

Wish they’d get helped to a bit of love

[Verse 2]

I was chattin’ with my friends one day when

Two of them burst out and started

Swearing and insulting at each other a ton

It was going back and fo-orth puttin’

Dents in my heart, I wish they

Would’ve just stopped before the

Damage was done

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I’m not su-ure what to think cause I

Thought everything was so nice and

Dandy I felt things were chill and

Cool among us all but now I

See, all this drama and

Hate going around when I just

Really really wanted us all to

get alo-(o-o-ong)

But now I guess in the end I was

Wrong to think everything was

Happy-go-lucky I

Never saw the truth

Tell me why-y in the world do-o

Things just go-otta be this, way

[Chorus 2]

Because when

All my friends just hate each other it

Really tears me apart inside

And when all my friends just hate each other they,

Can’t get enough of that fight

It’s rippin’ up my heartstrings and it's

Causin’ all this bleeding

Cause all my friends just hate each other and I

… well

[Bridge]

Maybe it’s just me

And I’m overreacting

Maybe it’s not bad as what I-I see

And I’m exaggerating

Maybe it’ll be fine if I let it be

But I’m really worried

What’ll happen, to all of ou-r

Relations, friendships

O-o-oh gee

(O-o-oh gee)

Should I make an intervention

[Chorus 3]

Cause when

All my friends just hate each other it

Really tears me apart inside

And when all my friends just hate each other they,

Can’t get enough of that fight

It’s rippin’ up my heartstrings

And it’s

Causin’ all this bleeding

Cause

All my friends just hate each other and I

Really wish they

Really wish they didn’t

[Verse 3]

So I got ‘em to meet up to get their

Arguments resolved but then

Calamity just broke out all

Over again

There were a few of us who tried to help and

Ca-alm the fire

But I think that we're broken for

Good now and I hate it

[Final Chorus]

Cause when

All my friends had loved each other it

Really warmed me u-up inside

And when all my friends just love each other we

Really had a wonderful time

I think of all the laughs we shared

And I think of all the times we cared

Cause all my friends just hate each other and I

Just wanna be a

Good ‘ol group o-of frie-ends
