[Intro: Oli Sykes]
This song's about true friends...

[Chorus: Oli Sykes, Jordan Fish & Crowd]
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget, but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know?
True friends stab you in the front
Go! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 1: Oli Sykes, Jordan Fish & Choral]
It's funny how things work out
Such a bitter irony
Like a kick right to the teeth
It fell apart right from the start
But I couldn't even see
The forest for the trees

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes & Choral]
I'm afraid you asked for this
'Cause you've got a lot of nerve but not a lot of spine
You made your bed when you worried about mine
This ends now

[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Jordan Fish]
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget, but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know
Sing it!
True friends stab you in the front?
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart, and there's nothing you can do
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

[Verse 2: Oli Sykes & Jordan Fish]
It's kind of sad, 'cause what we had
Well, it could've been something
I guess it wasn't meant to be
So how dare you
Try and steal my flame just 'cause yours faded
Well, hate is gasoline
A fire fueling all my dreams

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes & Choral]
I'm afraid you asked for this
'Cause you've got a lot of nerve but not a lot of spine
You made your bed when you worried about mine
(This ends now)

[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Jordan Fish]
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget, but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know
Sing it!
True friends stab you in the front?
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart, and there's nothing you can do
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

[Bridge: Oli Sykes]
Make some noise...
You can run, but you can't hide
Time won't help you, 'cause karma has no deadline
You can run, but you can't hide
Time won't help you, 'cause karma has no deadline

[Chorus: Oli Sykes, Jordan Fish & Choral]
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
'Cause I'll forget, but I'll never forgive you
Don't you know, don't you know
True friends stab you in the front?
I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you
You broke my heart, and there's nothing you can do
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

[Outro: Oli Sykes]
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front
And now you know, now you know
True friends stab you in the front

Bring Me The Horizon are a British alternative rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire—often stylised as simply “BMTH” or shortened to “Bring Me.” Formed in 2003, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver “Oli” Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The name of the band was taken from Captain Jack Sparrow’s line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean which he “Bring me that horizon.” Oli stated in an interview with Spin how the name connects with his vision of the

Right at the end of the film—it might even be the very last line—Johnny Depp says, “Bring me that horizon.” That was really inspiring. I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world. We never thought doing that was possible, but that’s what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer.
