DEAD FRIENDS Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm breathing in and out
They don't, they don't
I watch the sun go down
They won't, they won't
I'm waking up right now
And they never will
Again, I still can't understand
[Pre-Chorus]
I danced with the devil, I made it through hell and I don't know why
How am I different? I did and they didn't and it doesn't feel right
[Chorus]
I miss the hell we can't raise, I miss the time we can't waste
I miss the texts they can't send, I miss my dead friends
We had the rest of our lives, didn't get to say goodbye
God only knows where they went, I miss my dead friends
[Verse 2]
I spot the satellites like we used to do
Blow smoke rings to the sky like they'll fly to you
Sometimes, I wish that I could jump right into
The blue for a moment with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I danced with the devil, I made it through hell and I don't know why
How am I different? I did and they didn't, and it doesn't feel right
[Chorus]
I miss the hell we can't raise, I miss the time we can't waste
I miss the texts they can't send, I miss my dead friends
We had the rest of our lives, didn't get to say goodbye
God only knows where they went, I miss my dead friends
[Post-Chorus]
I miss my dead friends, I miss my dead friends
I'll see them again, I miss my dead friends
[Chorus]
I miss the hell we can't raise, I miss the time we can't waste
I miss the texts they can't send, I miss my dead friends
We had the rest of our lives, didn't get to say goodbye
God only knows where they went, I miss my dead friends (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
I miss my dead friends, I miss my dead friends
I'll see them again, I miss my dead friends
I miss my dead friends, I miss my dead friends
I'll see them again, I miss my dead friends

What did Demi Lovato say about "DEAD FRIENDS"?
I’ve experienced a lot of grief in my life and I wanted to make a song that was reflective of the people that I’ve lost, the friends that I’ve lost. I’ve lost a lot of friends in the past few years and at first it started out as a ballad — it started out as a slower song — but then when we sped it u...
What have the artists said about the song?
This song is a way for me to reminisce on the hard times that I’ve been through in my life and how I’ve lost friends along the way. The beginning of the song is very calm and slow, but as the song progresses you will notice that it picks up the tempo and the mood. I think this is a way to represent...
