The Devil Makes Three - Goodbye Old Friend [Audio Stream]

"Goodbye Old Friend" is off The Devil Makes Three's latest album 'I'm A Stranger Here.'

LYRICS:
I need you and I want you 'cause I know you from before
I hate you and I fear you but I hold open the door
I see you and you see me and we know what must be done
So we draw knives and lock eyes 'cause it does no good to run

Chorus:
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

I've missed you, you know that's true and I've retraced every scar
My head sings and the steel rings 'cause we've traveled, oh so far
I chased you to embrace you like the sun chases the moon
I burn you and you burn me but I know I'll see you soon

Chorus

I've watched you and I've seen you and known that you were there
I've held and you've loved me but our lives cannot be spared
I trust you and despised you, shadowed your every move
Scorned you and warned you, befriended everyone you've used

Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams
Goodbye old friend, farewell it seems
We'll dance again in my dreams

This song has so many meanings, its a drinking song, its an addiction song, its a break up song.

[theboredcanadian]

Thank you.. I played this for her and for 4 minutes and 14 seconds the only thing that mattered was how we had felt about each other so long ago. Then the dream ended. Thank you for those 4 minutes with her. You gave us a mutual goodbye.

A friend introduced me to this band years ago. She is no longer on this plane.

Goodbye, Old Friend.

Lost one of my best friends yesterday.. she was a sweet girl and she was always there when you were down.. hit me pretty hard since I’ve been working out of home state for a year and half now and haven’t been home since November for the little brothers birthday. I know the family is torn as well.. she was a good dog certainly the best we’ll ever have or seen. We’ll miss you forever ginger until again sweet girl

[morquan]

When the spirit of humanity manifest itseòf in somebody people mind and heart.... The hope remains alive..

[kaylisperry]

I really like this song. It is the perfect soundtrack to a memory or two of mine. As soon as I heard Good Bye Old Friend those few memories were pulled up in a visceral way leaving a bittersweet nostalgia behind. Thank you for saying in a beautiful song what was once buried and hard to think about.

Finally found the song that sums up my feelings for my old friend. He took his life this year, on my birthday no less. We were best friends, practically brothers, we grew up together, and experienced so much of life. Sadly we had a falling out because he started to get addicted to drugs, and manipulate people. I warned him, and tried helping him untill I saw no other option but to cut ties. I always kept tabs on him tho, I wanted him to over come his demons and become successful. He seemed to of gotten better and was doing well. He had a job, and was just starting a family. He had a baby boy, funny enough just a week after my birthday. Unfortunately his new job was too hard on him, and he fell back to drugs to try and get through. I guess his demons ended up getting the better of him in the end. He didnt even get to see his sons first birthday.

I lost my older sister the other day, and words cannot describe what that does. I remember seeing these guys with her years ago with her in Pittsburgh. She had the biggest crush on coop haha, and I remember when they were done playing that the two of them sat down at the bar. He sat with her and talked like a couple of friends… it meant the world to her. They talked about train hopping the high-line. I just remember watching them talk from across the bar and feeling so happy for her to make that connection. Music was so important to her. Thank you Coop for having that drink with her.

I left my last job and this song was in my heart. They taught me everything I know now about what I do every day. They made me who I am. I think of them as my family. I see them as family, father, grandpa, grandma. They took me in at 18 and made me a man, where my own family left me. I love them but they couldn’t afford to pay me what I needed. I joined them as an ambitious teen but after a few years, I had my own family and needed better pay than they could offer. I was heartbroken. Now my new job is leaving the building they’ve been in for two years. The building is over 100 years old and has history that I feel I’ve become part of. I hate to leave it now, nobody else will take care of it like we have. It’s an old building with historical value, but it’s in a small town that doesn’t have the funding to maintain it. The people I work with and I are the main curators for the old building now, and with us leaving, I worry about its fate.

RIP PAPA.. I love you so much. I"m struggling without you.

[Voiding-ofdark]

This song is truly the definition of "mood" depending on your mood, this song has a different meaning to it but man how come this song give me such much nostalgia. The good old days, where we used to play and talk by the fire, going for a hunt in forest, cooking together, talk about our life ahead and those laugher we share at the middle of the night. Is ashame how just one single mistake lead you a different outcome, it is what it is my friend. This world is rough and it just ain't for a people with good souls and heart. They didn't deserve you my friend, you were an honest and kind man, unlike them. Rest Easy my friend, see you on the other side.

[LvL__Mage]

a song of what was, what isnt, and what never will be
