[Verse 1]
Summer was the best
A life of peace before this mess
Bumble bees and smoke-free air
Living life without a care

[Chorus]
We promised that we'd have each other's backs
When the world was in flames we made a pact
Oh how could you turn on me like that
How could you just let me be attacked
Oh you were my friend
I thought we'd be together 'til the end
Oh you were my friend
I thought you'd stick by me until the end

[Verse 2]
We won the war then lost it all
Locked behind these great big towering walls
Please don't leave me in my time of need
Can't you see I'm hanging by a string

[Bridge]
And as the sun set on the horizon
And the music filled the air
Under the oak tree we made a promise
I remember I was there
[Chorus]
We promised that we'd have each other's backs
When the world was in flames we made a pact
Oh how could you turn on me like that
How could you just let me be attacked
Oh you were my friend
I thought we'd be together 'til the end
Oh you were my friend
I thought you'd stick by me until the end

[Verse 4]
And we were sitting on the bench
You said let's run away together
Oh tell me how'd it come to this
How'd we get so far from brothers
Friends forever

[Chorus]
We promised that we'd have each other's backs
When the world was in flames we made a pact
Oh how could you turn on me like that
How could you just let me be attacked
Oh you were my friend
I thought we'd be together 'til the end
Oh you were my friend
I thought you'd stick by me until the end
