Lyrics
When I needed a shoulder
You’d call me, call me
We’d get a little older
You’d call me, call me
I been walking solo lately, lately
I see all your photos
You dress the same
But you’re not
You tell me to mean what I say
You’re not my friend anymore
Don’t even mean what you say while you’re standing there begging me for more
There were exceptions within
You told me you did it just to fit in
But you never fit in anyway
And that’s why you were my friend
That’s why we were best friends
You were my best friend
We never fit in
Once I sent you flowers to say sorry
You said you were feeling like I just wasn’t listening
Said I was “lucky for forgiveness”
I didn’t feel like you had something to forgive
And now I’m standing alone with no one to stand with
You tell me to mean what I say
You’re not my friend anymore
Don’t even mean what you say while you’re standing there begging me for more
There were exceptions withinYou told me you did it just to fit in
But you never fit in anyway
And that’s why you were my friend
That’s why we were best friends
You were my best friend
We never fit in
And that’s why you were my friend
That’s why we were best friends
You were my best friend
We never fit in
And I got nothing to gain, its on me,
And I got no one to blame its on me,
And you don’t even mean what you said its on me
And you don’t even mean what you said its on me

giving me the old banks vibes ive been missing🖤
❤
Agree!!!
Finally!!
Agreed!
Because it’s a vaulted track she finally decided to put out after years of fans asking for it 😂 this is old banks.
Her best stuff is when she's totally vulnerable and just says it.
This is already a BANKS classic
Yes. 💟
Giving me The Altar vibes..This album gonna be great.
❤
It’s a vaulted track from that era
Any tour dates?
The Altar was a masterpiece from start to finish. 🙏🙏🙏
Friend breakups are soul crushing
Cried my eyes out when I heard this for the first time. Losing a close friendship is devastating-it feels almost like experiencing grief.
There definitely is grief with the loss of a close friend. All of the bonding, laughter, experiences, etc. just becomes scrapbook memories 🥲💔 and you don’t always get to share that same intimacy with other friends
🧸 🧸 🧸 Teddy I had a dream mean you were in my old house in Oxford and I was on the outside looking in and the neighbors across the street owned it .... I miss u teddy my black angel@@tierabrianne
Couldn't agree more, it's like they died, I have recently experienced this also
One of the best songs of BANKS ✨
❤
What makes banks so magnetic is the fact that she knows who she is. There's no one else like her. She's beautiful because she's rare and I like that
💛🤎✨
So perfect. ❣️💛🤎❤️🩹
So beautiful, you can feel and see the pain and loss of sacred love
❤
The GEMINI GODDESS is back giving me GODDESS album vibes I’m here for it ❤
❤
She never misses I swear she’s so lyrically talented
3:06 i could listen to this outro for hours
The tragedy in my eyes is banks doesn’t have more than a million people subscribed. She’s a master of her craft and top tier in my book of pop artist of this century. Easily top 5
This is the Banks we need 🙏
never been so excited for an album release before omg!! i’m proud to be a BANKS fan 🥹🥹 such a beautiful song
One of her all-time best songs, imo. That outro and the wistfulness throughout… been listening to this like crazy since it came out
this song hurts a lot.
❤
thank you Banks, for giving us a fragment of friendship enclosed in this melodic tear.
My best friend means the world to me, and I can't explain how I feel when I don't hear from her, now it's a little more distance and this thing breaks my heart in two :(
i love the way your music makes me sad, thank you for that ♡
❤
banks at her best - so beautiful and sad
I love this song and im so excited for the album ❤
Me toooo!! Off With Her Head!!!
@@caterinadelgalles8783❤
❤
I'm so glad BANKS gave us this little treat after the official release of the song! I hope she continues to promote the upcoming album in this way so we can enjoy things slowly and consistently!
Banks is feeding us!!! This is so good. I'm beyond excited for the album. Also cannot wait for Goddess live album
Tragically beautiful and unbearably relateable. Had me welling up before the 1st chorus on my first listen. Banks is absolutely superb with lyrics.
we need tv performances for this masterpiece ❤
The best song BANKS has written ❤
I'll always miss them, I loved them once however people change, or they don't, we realise things and all you have to do is keep moving forward.
You will experience being loved and understood by a best friend again, one-day.
However always keep in mind the only person who will ever truly understand you is; yourself 💞
This song has such a special place in my heart already 🤍 the visuals are everything!
This song speaks to my soul and expresses a pain I could not articulate. 言葉にならない気持ち
As a professional sound designer, I find Banks exceptionally unique. Let’s break it down: harmonics. Singers like Banks, Brandy, and a select few have almost three fundamentals happening simultaneously-a complexity that someone like Taylor Swift doesn’t quite achieve. When Banks sings, there’s a whispery texture in the higher frequencies, her voice operates in a higher register, and she shapes her notes like a contralto. Essentially, you’re hearing three layers at once. Very impressive, Ms. Banks. The World’s First Seventh Generation Synthesizer Designer salutes your artistry. Well done.
hey so we actually don’t need to bring other women down to compliment another!
I would love to hear your opinion of Fk Twigs. I swear she blows any main stream artist out of the water. Just like BANKS and Sevdaliza.
@@VickeyVale 🤜🏾Blue-When somebody tells you that they are a Professional at something-and not only that-they literally created the Worlds First Hyper Instrument-it may be a good idea to just zip-it and listen. Nobody tore anybody down. Banks is a professional. I am a professional. You are a fan. There is a big difference. This is one apex person recognizing another apex level person. Not hate. To Vickey-the force is strong with you! 🙏🏽FKA Twigs was how I even FOUND Banks! These independent female singers are the ones taking chances and pushing music forward. Banks seems to have a fondness of analog synth sounds. I’ve often wondered if she sound designs. That’s amazing. I’m planning a short video soon as I DID use Banks’s voice as a “Muse” in creating Delta Meridian Sound Design. Ok! More new music Banks! Let’s get these dudes! Amadeus e.d.p.
@@VickeyVale Sevda tooooooo! 🔥. Kelela as well. Their music is out of this world. Banks is more accessible and has a LOT of bangers legit. I think everybody wants their favorite artist to sell a billion copies-but some artists don’t really want that. Plus-listen to Banks catalog. She is clearly involved with the writing process in a way that a Taylor Swift just can’t because at that level we’re dealing with TEAMS of people-trying to make a smash. That’s not bad. I’m just saying Mc Donald’s sells more burger than anybody on this planet-the only people that think Mc Donald’s has the best burgers are 8th graders. Amadeus e.d.p.
You and your music are beautiful and Ive missed both so much!!! Thanks for coming back❤
❤
Banks is such a treasure❤❤❤ Thank you for your existence
So beautiful and vulnerable.
Sad relatable. I used to have a best friend, but I never hear from her anymore. I don't understand why she stopped talking to me but I blame myself and I don't know why.
❤
Don't blame yourself if you were important to you she shoukd had given news at least...
I am obsessed with this song
This one hits me so hard. I had a friend like that in junior high but he moved during high school and by late teens we were strangers because he believed false things his other friends said about me. Nothing was ever the same. He was my best friend during that time....
It gave me so much the altar and goddess vibe ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YES BANKS! ❤✨
I've waited so long for this song! can't believe its finally here!
Exquisite- absolute perfection-
My lover don’t speak English (we from Belgium) so I’ve translated this song and he was becoming so emotional, troubled andthoughtful… 😅
Thank u Banks for all those years by my side… in my mind for all troubles I’ve been through 🧚🏽✨🖤
🧚
Beautifully done ❤️🔥 I love the harmonies
❤
I'm in love with this song ❤
Love you so much Banks ❤❤❤ I can't wait for listening your new album ❤❤🎉
❤
I'm convinced Banks and I formed a mindstream since I played Goddess in 2013 at 15 for hours and years on end because no way did she drop a song completely encapsulating what I'm going through right now and my feelings perfectly. Forever grateful for her wow
💛🤎🎶✨
Does anyone else feel like this is a sister song to "Sawzall"? At least to me anyways, the lyrics of both song evoke the same tender sorrow about misunderstood friends and relationships that were sadly never healed...
Precisely ❤
💖
This is exactly what it feels like
❤️🖤✨
On repeat, damn this is heaven ❤
I love her sm
Best song ❤❤❤❤

I lost one of my best friends because of a disagreement during C0V1D… I still think about her often, but I fear she doesn’t. Sucks a lot, but I’ll live.
I been here since 2014
For some reason I think this is all about me😢❤
wowwww 😢😢😢
Thank u
❤
This song belonged in the Goddess Album, it has that same vibe
This song can be taken from two different perspectives imo. Either she’s talking about an old friend, but if you read in between the lines, I get she’s also talking about her past self.
I had a "friend" similar to this in my teens. I had basically dubbed myself the emergency or backup "friend" for when she was desperate.
And because I was mainly just on call when her and her psychotic mother wanted to go out drinking or shopping, and none of her proper friends were free
she'd try and manipulate me into what she wanted me to do.
For example, I rarely drink alcohol as I think I'm allergic to something in it, I prefer weed.
Anyway after like the 23rd time of her trying to get me to babysit so she could go get wasted.
I reminded her as I had done many times, don't ask me to look after your kid, esp babies.
I'm a nervous wreck around them as I suffer severe anxiety and start thinking of all the horrible things that could go wrong.
Whatf if it falls and breaks its arm or hits its head, or my worst fear of all, going to check on them when sleeping and finding a dead baby due to cot death.
I'd never be able to live with my self if a tragic event like that happened.
And she knew all this yet would still constantly badger me to do it, which was never going to happen.
So she ghosted me and I haven't spoken or heard from her since 2012
and ghosting me was the only kind thing she ever did for me, but she doesn't know that I assume.
Damn...
This is some good classic Banks. I love hearing her vocals and not as much electronic musak
❤❤❤
❤
Still waiting for the day BANKS will release a full version of that song she sang in the movie X-Men Dark Phoenix, "Hands On Me" :(
😍
Awww
❤
❤
Omg 🥹
❤
Don't even mean what you say while you're standing there begging me for more!
🥺
