The song "Let the False Friends Go" is about three types of false friends. When it comes to friendship, most have experienced disappointments and joys, and we have been involved in everything in different ways. Well, hardly anyone is perfect. But we can learn to be better, including at being better friends. Aristotle is said: The best friend is the one who always makes you better than you are.

Let the False Friends Go
---

Verse 1
You were an energy drainer, a leech deep within,
Feeding off my strength as if it were your win.
With every smile, you stole my light,
But now I see through your disguise, your true sight.

Pre-Chorus
You thought you could break me,
But I have the strength to set you free.

Chorus
Let the false friends go,
Who only take and never know,
What true friendship means,
I let go and I set myself free.

Verse 2
Always better, always greater, that was your game,
Every success of mine just fueled your aim.
You couldn't stand it when I shined so bright,
But I know who you are now, your mask's not so tight.

Pre-Chorus
You wanted to diminish me,
But I rise above your false reality.

Chorus
Let the false friends go,
Who only take and never know,
What true friendship means,
I let go and I set myself free.

Verse 3
A fair-weather rider of success, only there in sunny skies,
But when storms and rains hit, suddenly you're not by my side.
You were there when times were good and I was high,
But when I fell, you disappeared, turned away, and that hurt deep inside.

Pre-Chorus
You were never truly there for me,
Just around when it suited your spree.

Chorus
Let the false friends go,
Who only take and never know,
What true friendship means,
I let go and I set myself free.

Let The False Friends Go

Hi! I had my first soundcloud episode from 2012 until end of February 2025. Because my account was hacked, I had to make a cut. I wanted to start anew with a reduced collection of my best songs. Now, with a new header at the homepage, I continue with what I love most: making music. 
If you like my music please share & like, thanks!
Let's keep on rockin' the attic! Rainer K.
