Never Take Friendship Personal - 2025
[Verse 1: Matty Mullins]
There's a hatchet, got a knife
When I awoke there was nothing real in this life
But dreams are so intoxicating (Intoxicating)
When you're doing this alone
Gun, rope, brick on the way
But words have no meaning
When it's you that says, "I really do care"
No baby I, I really do care

[Chorus: Matty Mullins]
Innocence gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
In a sense gone
Never take friendship pеrsonal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

[Verse 2: Matty Mullins]
Oncе a skeptic, now the critic
And you think that you finally
Found a place of your own
Amongst the cold and timid souls (Souls)
Where only failure knows your name (Name)
Look around for the closest to blame
But look no further than the
Hands beneath your arms
And now you're six feet down (Down)
Buried with, with your passing fame, fame, fame, fame
[Chorus: Matty Mullins]
Innocence gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
In a sense gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?

[Post-Chorus]
Why should I hold you now?

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, you lie
Tell me something more than what you tried to hide
If you can't find yourself
Then how can I expect to find you?
Oh, oh, oh, you cry
Tell me something more than what you try
The greatest tragedy is not your death
But a life without reason
Life has no purpose
A life has no reason
Your life has no purpose
[Chorus: Matty Mullins]
Innocence gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
In a sense gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
In a sense gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
Why should I hold you now?
