lyrics

Sometimes you grow apart
Sometimes they go too fast
Sometimes they steal from you
Sometimes you yell at them
Sometimes they yell at you
Sometimes they go and do bad things
And try to put the blame on you

I’ve been on earth too long to play these games
And I’m not sayin’ any names

Forget my old friends
I don’t need new friends
I still have some friends
And I don’t need no more
Don’t want your friends
We all know how that ends
Too tired to pretend
That they’re great, cause I’m sure
That they are, I’m sorry, but I’m not
Forget all my old friends
Including all the ones that I forgot
Ha ha

You don’t know where it starts
You don’t know where it ends
Don’t know how you got here
Stranded in this bar with all these friends
You don’t think that you know
Or that you ever knew
You put your head into your hands
And think, “oh God, what do I do?”

I’ve trusted one too many girls and boys
So pardon all my rowdy noise

Forget my old friends
I don’t need new friends
I still have some friends
And I don’t need no more
Don’t want your friends
We know how that ends
Too tired to pretend
That they’re great, cause I’m sure
That they are, I’m sorry, but I’m not
Forget all my old friends
Including all the ones that I forgot

You had your place in time
I had no wits about me
But after years and lies
And bad behaviors that surrounded me
I’ve figured out the cure
To all this toxicity
It’s letting you do you
And finally doing me
Me
I’m finally doing me

Forget my old friends
I don’t need new friends
I wish the best for them
But some of them, I’m not so sure
I’ve got my life
I don’t need your life
I’m saying goodbye
To what was, cause what will be
Is so much more appealing yes it’s true
Forget all my old friends
Every day I’m glad that I’m not you
You
Every day I’m glad that I’m not you

EJ Carey Boston, Massachusetts

If you took the angst ridden anthems of the 2000s and combined them with the truth bearing storytelling of country music, you’d find yourself listening to EJ Carey. EJ’s blend of pop rock packs an emotional punch by reintroducing the sounds of her teen years to the age of Spotify under the guise of confessional plot-driven songwriting.
EJ's new EP “Outlier” is available everywhere now. ... more
