True fan. Still here. Thank you for everything 💘

[@esteban482]

the moral of the story is that you must keep your enemies closer, even if they are clowns. Incredible song.

[@iamclydieCS]

yeh

[@WizzyImz]

It's 2019 and I still have no idea how this doesn't have more views

[@angelcalvin5]

"You should keep your best friends close by, but keep your enemies closer." So true! Because best friends can bite the biggest.

[@davidsun8623]

His voice is just so unique... hopefully they can have more hits in the future.

[@Necrophadez]

TheDailyGuns They/singular can be used to refer to one person.

[@Examplesno1fan54]

How many so called artists work as hard or Tour as much as Example ? Love him x

[@fiancegamers3344]

This song speaks so many lessons.

[@Ashlee4EVERsimpson]

his album is my fave from 2012

[@theEpicGeek21525]

Saw Example live it was incredible, me, my mate, three fit girls and example can't be beaten

[@tracywilliams2436]

So 80's love it !

[@kreepaj574]

There's light at the end of the tunnel There's fight at the heart of a struggle You're smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more You owned me You buried all my worth with a shovel You're smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more No more goodbyes So so long So so long So so long Now No more white lies You used to be the one true thing in my world You told me that you loved me You're in love with yourself Shoulda listen to my mother You messed around the others Now you're dead to me I've been sleeping with the enemy Should keep your best friends close by Should keep your best friends close by You should keep your best friends close by But keep your enemies closer But keep your enemies closer So many evil talents you juggled It's fair to say you didn't act subtle Your smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more Came crashing down I'm staring at rubble They need to send you into space in a shuttle Your smile should've told me you're trouble No more, no more, no more No more goodbyes So so long So so long So so long Now No more white lies You used to be the one true thing in my world You told me that you loved me You're in love with yourself Shoulda listen to my mother You messed around the others Now you're dead to me I've been sleeping with the enemy Should keep your best friends close by Should keep your best friends close by You should keep your best friends close by But keep your enemies closer But keep your enemies closer Strange and deranged Seek fame was the name of the game Defeat rivals Abel and Kane Get trophies they'll look great in a frame What would you have done, take all the blame? With your hands held firm over naked flames Being grilled now you're shaking again Faking the pain, dark visions of Satan Contemplating, talking man to man She was a girl on film Duran Duran She called me her ape man orang-utan Me Tarzan, she Jane Take all the blame I'm the bloke in the chorus We were sweet once everybody saw us I ain't flawless still unsure I loved us but I loved me more You used to be the one true thing in my world You told me that you loved me You're in love with yourself Shoulda listen to my mother You messed around the others Now you're dead to me I've been sleeping with the enemy Should keep your best friends close by Should keep your best friends close by You should keep your best friends close by But keep your enemies closer But keep your enemies closer

[@martao.3637]

"you should keep your best friends close by, but keep your enemies closer", so true.

[@treeslayerr]

***** you should always know what your enemys do before they stab you in the back

[@jjdeemson]

[@DimQQk]

My fauvorite track from his new album!

[@bluck122]

Sick tune

[@lewisgarner8895]

Heard this on the plane to Barbados. Was surprised it didnt have more views.

[@getbacktowork2729]

I don't wanna be friends with anyone who doesn't like this dude.

[@McEpicDangerFace]

he's music gets better with every album

[@charlottep113]

LOVE EXAMPLE! Saw him twice last year, need to see him again this year!!.

[@LuluMija]

Dude, with gangam style it's not about quality, it's like everything else: just a trend. And it's one song. And you're just proving my point: too many views doesn't mean that song is good. I love Example and i think he's getting enough attention :)

[@TheParvatichauhan]

How can one direction be number one when this is out, example is so under rated!!!

[@LuluMija]

He has millions of views on every song. Tell me how's he underrated?

[@TheNiklasDenmark112]

[@MissKhryz]

Same here! We gotta get him in the US charts

[@bulbeckja1]

His music video scares me... whilst his music is beyond amazing!!! You gotta give this guy so much respect!!

[@N94able]

took the words right out of my mouth

[@XxXtaylorstablesXxX]

Great taste in music brought me here.

[@BusBusxD]

[@TruthRyoon]

[@Mukz725]

I like these dark themes in his music
