It's certainly true, there's better things to do 
And though I don't know everything 
I wouldn't tell you anything if I did. 
The last time I saw you act like this 
We were kids. 
What am I to do? 
My heart goes out to you. 
Over reacting, over again  
Just between friends. 
What am I to do? 
I won't come between you two. 
What was I to do? 
I gave it. 
What was I to say? 
I gave it all I could. 
How was I to know? 
I bet you'll never find another friend like me.

The Get Up Kids

The Get Up Kids are an American alternative rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. Formed in 1995, the band was a major player in the mid-90's emo scene, otherwise known as the "second wave" of emo music. As they gained prominence, they began touring with bands such as Green Day and Weezer before becoming headliners themselves, eventually embarking on international tours of Japan and Europe. They founded Heroes & Villains Records, an imprint of the successful indie rock label Vagrant Records. While the imprint was started to release albums by The Get Up Kids, it served as a launching pad for several side-projects such as The New Amsterdams and Reggie and the Full Effect. more »
