Alesana - Best Ex-Friend Lyrics






Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it
For so long I still can't figure out
Why many wont last, why many wont last
With the blink of your eye it's all gone away
... please give me one more stay, I guess that's why I feel I'm loosing again...

Miles we've walked the moons we've seen
Leave it all behind and start a new beginning.
I won't keep you searching when there's nothing left to find

[Chorus:]
'cause I'm not ready for this life... ready for this life
But I'm ready for tonight, I'm still wondering why
... days convincing me once we'd never be strong, this is goodbye...

Tears fall down like the mourning rain
A taste of strain does
Something's getting compromised
Fall in or fallen the damage is done
And there's no convincing with these words you've spoken

[Chorus]

Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it for so long
Still I can't figure out when you were wrong
... everything you ever said would ever make this right or guilty
Now you say you wonder why you're my best ex-friend...

Pretty words roll off of your tongue
Come out of your mouth heard by everyone
So convincing I believed it for so long
Still I can't figure out why
... everything you ever said would ever make this right or guilty
Now you say you wonder why you're my best ex-friend...

[Chorus]

'cause I'm not ready for this life
But I'm ready for tonight, I'm still wondering why
... days convincing me once we'd never be strong, this is goodbye...
Days convince...

    People think they are Alesana because they heard Shawn's voice... Lmao, it's funy because Alesana are more than one singer

  9. L.... S....

    L.... S....

    +うふふKimmy Thanks.

    L.... S....

    DoktorCL they have alot of demos tbh . The one from Tragedy split ep is their 3rd demo which is already on youtube .

    Their 2nd demo " Jesse Clark session " was Goodbye goodnight for good and Beautiful in blue . The lyrics and the stucture of the song is totally different


    Bought the origin box , so yea . My info is 100% accurate

    L.... S....

    +うふふKimmy Anywhere I can find the other demos? I've only found Best Ex-Friend and Goodbye, Goodnight for Good. I've found a "demo-ish" sounding version of Beautiful in Blue but I think that's from the original version of Try This With Your Eyes Closed.

  10. B.... B....

    Best Ex Side-Bitch

  11. S.... C....

    ahhh when music had depth, passion, and emotion. gotta give it to alesana though, they've always catered to their fans and stayed true to this sound in small instances even to this day. long live these guys.

  12. B.... ....

    It's 2016 and I'm still listening to this

    B.... ....

    Me too 😂

    B.... ....

    BennyPaddyCake 2017 ahaha

  13. 6.... P....

    To my ex friend Hayley, fuck you!!

  14. T.... S....

    Reminds me of old Taking back Sunday a little bit. Man they've really grew as a band.

    T.... S....

    Trever Sobkowiak yees taking back sundays sounds like this in his EP

  15. K.... `....

    This is not The Legitimate Excuse guys! Shawn sings there and he is clearly not the singer here! He is just doing back ups here... this is the pre-Alesana when they have different singer. They still don't have Dennis here yet! I'm a fan since 2006 :)

  16. G.... C....

    the post-hardcore between 2000-2007 was the best. Yah, don't need to call it screamo.

    G.... C....

    But it is screamo.

  17. a.... ....

    This isn't Alesana, this is The Legitimate Excuse

    a.... ....

    Shawn was the singer of the legitimate excuse

  18. T.... S....

    what's fuck is sweetcore!? O.o

  19. j.... d....

    I think this season ended the era of emo and punks...

  20. l.... b....

    People say just because im a directioner i cant like them^^ you know.fuck it they are fuckin awesome

  21. X.... ....

    you must have never even grew up in the time period

  22. H.... ....

    LOOOOOOOOOOOL Sweetcore????? you can't just make up a music genre! X'D

    nice try though.

    H.... ....

    All music genres are made up...

  23. L.... ....

    WTF?! I don't Fu**ing care if its alesana or not this song is Fuc*ing Awesome!

  24. h.... ....

    No, just no. If this was Alesana circa 1994 they would all be about 12, 13, 14. And probably have a higher voice than this

  25. X.... ....

    3rd wave

  26. F.... ....

    WOW YOUR FUNNY.............
    I GUESS YOU DONT WANT TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE
    AND I KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE:)

  27. F.... ....

    you are such a poser xD

  28. T.... ....

    Yeah… it's called emo

  29. X.... ....

    emo you mean emotive hardcore lol they tried hard to follow the foot steps but feel short to the underground scene.

  30. s.... o....

    is alesana in an interview they talked about this song and another called "our plan" or something like that but never incluided in an album or ep´s

  31. s.... o....

    is alesana in a interview they talked about this son and another called our plans than never included in albums or ep´s

  32. E.... A....

    this is not alesana

  33. J.... D....

    YOU THINK ALL BANDS SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME ON THEIR GARAGE SHITTY QUALITY EP AS THEY DO ON NEW ALBUMS? SMARTEN UP CHILDREN....ITS ALESANA CIRCA 1994 .....NOW PIPE DOWN AND ENJOY THE SCREAMO

  34. A.... H....

    Yes it is, any real fan knows that. ^_^

  35. S.... ....

    I want to punch all of them in the face.

  36. r.... ....

    ur stupid if u think this even sounds like alesana....like seriously get ur facts straight.....and who gives a fuck if they are emo....they arent even emo....

  37. E.... R....

    dammn that's not alesana!!

  38. J.... H....

    This band si the best..!!!
    I love alesana.!!!

  39. L.... ....

    I feel bad that I am IN LOVE with Alesana and....not with Legitimate excuse.
    Then again they are two different bands, so its whatever

  40. T.... ....

    @XturntodustX Sorry to tell you, this shows several instances of what emo is if you even heard it. "Sweetcore" is not a genre, it's a slang that Shawn Milke made up, idiot

    Damn dumbasses

  41. N.... ....

    Dear Idiots, Shawn does NOT equal Alesana. This obviously The Legitimate Excuse, NOT Alesana. If it is Alesana, are you telling me that other voice is PeeZee's? Or Dennis'? /Sarcasm/ Oh wait, it MUST be Steve Tomany! You guys are such "lead singer posers."

  42. J.... S....

    @XturntodustX I know, right!?

  43. S.... S....

    @MyBloodyFate this is shawn, but not alesana. it's "the legitimate excuse", shawn's former band. i know that because a friend of mine and i spent one whole night talking to the guys of alesana after a concert and i asked shawn about this one song whether it's an alesana or a tle song and he said it's a tle song.

  44. H.... F....

    I'm glad Shawn left this band. Alesana is so much better.

  45. A.... ....

    Dennis sings fukking awesome!!! it sounds like Punk Rock mixed with screaming volcals

  46. Z.... R....

    This song was on the old-school 3 song demo, and i also believe it was on "all the tragedy money can buy vol.1" which vol.2 was never released :P but thats besides the point....i'm 16, i've been listening to alesana since their first demo in 2004 i believe it was i know my alesana when i hear it haha :) this is deffinitely them, no arguement! :D

  47. Z.... R....

    @MyBloodyFate this was actually one their first 3-song demo :)

  48. Z.... R....

    @ruskiiin1975 this was in the times of the 3 track demo cd :)))) old school alesana :D

  49. X.... ....

    This is the legitimate excuse, not alesana.
    It's shawn's old band.

  50. X.... ....

    sorry to tell you noobs this is not emo its called sweetcore damn kids..

  51. K.... K....

    @MrKevlem You're right. It's Alesana...

  52. K.... L....

    this is ok at best its no from autumn to ashes no bullet eathier

  53. S.... S....

    @ruskiiin1975 that's not alesana, that's "the legitimate excuse" which was shawn's old band. shawn confirmed that when my bf and me had been stuck in front of the concert hall cause we had missed the last train home so we spent that whole night chatting with the band members of alesana and a skylit drive.

  54. L.... F....

    @ruskiiin1975 dude this is before dennis, this is just shawn and patrick. and patrick is doing the singing shawn is screaming.

  55. X.... ....

    @kekoaalii97 Woot i'm not the only one.

  56. B.... ....

    This Alesana isn't that good, I see they improved a lot!

  57. s.... ....

    i love it, it's different from their other songs. Well, because it's old.

  58. J.... A....

    @SIRFELIPEIV zii es alesana! era muy antes de on frail wings of vanity and wax. dennis no solo gritaba si no cantaba tambien. puedes oir a shawn tambien

  59. F.... I....

    en verdad es alesana?
    expliquenme que no entiendo
    el ingles

  60. T.... ....

    @ruskiiin1975 I'm not entirely sure but I think it's Huck singing, try compairing this singing to Dennis speaking voice, no resemblanse o___O

  61. G.... G....

    @MyBloodyFate ahhh! I agree so much with you!! :DD
    In my opinion this is like one of their best songs. I love it.
    They should put it on their new album

  62. j.... ....

    yes it's alesana i play the lead guitar for over 7 years in my band it's alesana or was alesana. saint anna.

  63. b.... ....

    hey to all those ppl that only listen to their newest albums search them on wikipedia and itsays that they've replaced alot of ppl in their band

  64. A.... R....

    hey where did u find this song its pretty good

  65. n.... ....

    @LoriBeth91 yea i think your right because i can't hear denis but i think i hear shawn in the backround and the main singer definatly is not shawn's voice and alesana has only 1 singer shawn and a screamer denis not 2 singer.not alesana.

  66. H.... L....

    " pretty words roll off of your tongue , come out of your mouth heard by everyone " fave part
    Thumbs up if you agree(:

  67. T.... ....

    LOL
    this song is actually an alesana banned..^_^
    LOL!

  68. h.... ....

    lol i kno this is the first song i herd by them

  69. B.... o....

    its adam ferguson doing lead vocals lol

  70. B.... R....

    This is a bonus song off of their first album, Try This With Your Eyes Closed (2005)

  71. L.... ....

    haha yea missie they do and man this song is good tho

  72. C.... B....

    hey wat kind of genre is this?

  73. E.... S....

    y havnt i ever heard this song?

  74. b.... ....

    i talked to melissa milke ( shawn's sister) and she said its from an old band of shawn's and not by alesana.

  75. E.... ....

    No one knows how to use "Emo" xP

  76. r.... ....

    i like this song.....i remember my ex girlfriend : ( but good video

  77. L.... ....

    orgasmic.
    <33
    :)
    1.27.10

  78. r.... ....

    sounds like afi kind of

  79. r.... ....

    guys..this is alesana.this was the time when dennis not only screams but also sings..so old.before the on frail wings of vanity and wax

  80. I.... M....

    It's not really alesana's style but i definitely hear shawns beautiful voice lol. i love this song whether its alesana or not hehe 8D

  81. k.... ....

    think you're right. you can hear shawn, but the guy who's singing lead vocals is not dennis. and it really isn't alesana-style ^^
    i mean... you don't need to hear the vocals to figure out what is an alesana-song and what's not..... XD

  82. F.... W....

    I agree
    I don't know for sure either, but it seems the most probable
    Shawn's backing vocals and screams can't be mistaken, but the lead singer isn't from Alesana
    So yeah, you're probably right

  83. J.... ....

    i love this song reminds me of my girl

  84. s.... s....

    this song reminds me of someone.

  85. D.... M....

    mm no
    parece alesana
    no?

  86. J.... S....

    its... shawn patrick and huck... correct me if im wrng..

  87. K.... G....

    screAmo

  88. K.... G....

    wow your an idiot.
    i hear at least 3 different people speaking
    at least 2 guitars
    and drums
    so it definetly isnt just shawn and patrick.

  89. E.... K....

    yes it is. its just a non-album song.

  90. M.... ....

    beautiful in blue is the best!

  91. M.... ....

    this is not an alesana's song...

    only shawn and patrick participate in this song... along time ago.. alesana in their myspace posted a blog telling the name of the band... AND I CANT REMMEMBER!!! soo.. if you are a true alesana fan and you remmember that post... tell me plz

  92. M.... K....

    I Love Alesana < 33

  93. E.... K....

    <3333 i love alesana.

  94. f.... ....

    In my opinion these are the best songs: apology, a most profound quiet, ambrosia, congratulations i hate you, red and dying evening, seduction.

  95. n.... ....

    also..i kinda am being a hypocrit...but one of my other stances is that ppl who put themselves in categories are tools...soo congratz ur a tool :D.

  96. n.... ....

    he is deff emo... lol. all he does is whine about everything...and whats wrng with all time low.. they are good..u dnt have to be a faggot and like only one type of music..if u realy say u enjoy music u should like all kinds of music. retards who say they love music and only like one type are idiots...soo please before u argue with someone who likes all music..ya ALL! including Country and Clasical. get ur facts str8. and i love Alesana... and wtf is Powerpop making up genres now.. rofl

  97. f.... ....

    all of them :D
