THE ALBUM IS COMING MAY 29TH !!! pre order here : alecbenjamin.lnk.to/TheseTwoWindowsID

I'm gonna leave this comment here so when someone likes it, I'll get reminded of this masterpiece

Who’s still listening to this in 2024?

Alec, we need these old school songs all in a special album, cause they are still my favourites

It's 2023 but I still listen to this masterpiece

never stop making songs :)

Your music understands me better than I understand myself holy mother of Chipotle

Me: oh, hey Spotify! Spotify: hey! Me: oh! I’ve got a song I want to add to a playlist! It’s called ‘the knife in my back.’ Spotify: **sweats** Me: *.......you’re about to have a knife in your back pretty soon.*

I’m still waiting for this song to go onto Spotify. I used to listen to this song allllll the time and I still do, I just REALLY wish it was on spotify cuz I listen to music more there

This chorus is killer Edit: I 100% swear I didn’t mean to make a pun, I’m sorry

*This. Is. Real. Music.*

I need this to be officially released so bad cause whenever it does get released I will automatically buy it with no regrets and listen to it on repeat every day-

This song hits hard. I recently had friends betray me and I told my other friends it was like a knife in my back.

Alec: *posts this* Me: *Stops everything just for this magnificent video* Im like a minute in this song alec and im about to cry.. You never fail to impress me! Keep it up 😁 EDIT: Holy hot cakes 100 likes!? Thank you all so much! 😭❤❤ (i never reached 100 likes ever lol) Edit 2: wowie 200 likes now? Yall are too kind 😋❤

There's something about his voice in the chorus that gives me shivers...the good kind

Wait… ALEC WROTE THIS SONG? I didn’t even realize I’ve known this song forever

I've Benjamin to this song since it came out Puns for dayzz

Masterpiece...

It’s been SIX YEARS ALEC cmon give us that full version

5 years later I still want it on Spotify 😢

WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY I'M SO MAD

When your dog lays with someone else😂😂😭

Alec knows how everyone feels at what time and he puts it into the songs he writes. That’s what I like about him! Not to mention that the songs are actually really catchy

I bet by 2019 your name will be known all around the world Edit: It’s 2021 now and you’ve come so far. Keep going man you’re gonna be a household name by 2023.

It sucks to be stabbed in the back by someone you trusted. Its beautiful how you turned that feeling in a song.

4 years later, and still waiting for it to get on spotify 🥲🖐

If you are listening to this, dancing to your LED Lights flashing the sound of cop cars riding around the city hearing the birds and singing, YOU IS MY TWIN

This is probably my favorite Alec Benjamin song, I’ve been around since he started and know all the lyrics to every song. I wouldn’t have made it through a lot if I never heard his music❤

LYRICS I’m slowly learning that the things you promised me are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees and every single secret has been broadcast like tv now all the threads are severed that were tying you to me i thought we were friends but now we’re enemies i thought we were friends but now we’re enemies pull your knife out of my back your blood runs black i was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast i let you in i held you close my blood flows like a river cause i trusted you the most and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo i was so naive i even let you in my home took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes i can’t even breathe i have your scent still in my nose it’s like i almost miss you i should’ve known i thought we were friends but now we’re enemies i thought we were friends but now we’re enemies pull your knife out of my back your blood runs black i was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast i let you in i held you close my blood flows like a river cause i trusted you the most and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo i thought we were friends but now we’re enemies i thought we were friends but now we’re enemies pull your knife out of my back your blood runs black i was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast i let you in i held you close my blood flows like a river cause i trusted you the most and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo and now i know it’s over woo-oo-o-ooo ps, i’m so proud of u alec, this song sounds great !!

I love this song 😍😍 And this really happen sometimes when you trust someone and then they turn against you 😔 Alec Benjamin's songs are so perfect, he's such a great singer 😍😍

I just came back to this after 4 years, this song will never get old.

“Cause i trusted you the most” hits different

You're hella underrated

I love you.

This really hits hard and the thing about music to me is that the music isnt the thing that hits it's the lyrics and the way its sang and lemme just say no one could do what you did with this song

This was the first demo I heard from Alec and I was so upset that I couldn’t listen to it off of KZfaq bc it’s my comfort song and I would like to listen to it on repeat in my room.

Alec, you have once again created a masterpiece!

So talented!

Aw man, this really needs to be on Spotify!! These are my favorite songs

Your songs always reassures me that other people feel what I feel.

Alec is the only singer that I love every song of. Hope he will receve more attention cause he deserves it. Lots of love from Switzerland 🇨🇭 💜

Just found you, I really like the honesty of your lyrics and the vulnerability in your voice, such a refreshing change from the mass produced poppy puppy farms. I hope that you are recognised for your unmistakable talent and I hope that you are able to stay true to your roots. Just downloaded your tracks on itunes

This is one of the first songs I've ever heard from Alec... I really hope this song becomes either released or a new version is made. I'd listen to it or buy it no matter the cost

My cat: goes on my brothers bed instead of mine Me: *I thought that we were friends but now we're enemies.*

Lyrics (couldn't tell if someone else posted them already): I'm slowly learning That the things you promised me Are burning like the embers Of a thousand willow trees, and Every single secret Has been broadcast like TV Now all the threads are severed That were tying you to me I thought we Were friends, but now we're Enemies I thought we Were friends, but now we're Enemies Pull your knife out of my back Your blood runs black I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast I let you in I held you close My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) I was so naive I even let you in my home Took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes I can't even breathe; I have your scent still in my nose It's like I almost miss you; I should have known I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies I thought we Were friends, but now we're Enemies Pull your knife out of my back Your blood runs black I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast I let you in I held you close My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most. And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) I thought we Were friends, but now we're Enemies I thought we Were friends, but now we're Enemies Pull your knife out of my back Your blood runs black I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast I let you in I held you close My blood flows like a river 'cause I trusted you the most. And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo) And now I know it's over (woo-oooo)

I’m convinced that you could never write a bad song, like everything you create is amazing 💛

I remember hearing this song and i was searching this song for so many years, now i finally found it and realised it's from one of my favorite Singer. Nostalgia.

I love coming back to this song, I'll never get over it. It reminds me about my relationship with my family

Alec : *Makes a song* Gacha Lifers: So you have chosen... death.

I can't believe it's been 6 years. Wow.

Alec Benjamin: makes a song Gacha users: *hippity hoppity this is now my property*

Alec is my favorite person ever. He's my inspiration for singing. Like he needs to be noticed more because he deserves it.

one of the most difficult feelings to accept is knowing that the one person who owes you an apology the most is also the one person who never will give one or feel sorry.

Alec’s voice and songs are just so smooth and calming. I love it!

When my cat attacks my hand while I'm petting her *I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast*

'My blood flows like a river' People on their period: same.. (Edit: Sorry if this offends anybody and thanks for all the likes, you all have a good day/night! ❤😊)

bro you should release this. it's amazing.

Is it just me who thinks this, or are all of Alec Benjamin's unreleased songs the best ones??

My blood flows like a river Because I TRUSTED you the most 💔 that killed me

Dear Alec Benjamin, You're Clearly a very talented artist!*ahem* and my favrite. Littlerly, My last name is Benjamin too when I found your songs for about two Years ago I fell in Love with your voice and lyric. I cant belive your music is so unnoticed I can see you work hard too! Keep doing you boo.~~ Plomm

ALEC PLEASE I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY IM BEGGING

This is a masterpiece. I can’t stop listening to it! You’re the best Alec!

my new years resolution is to meet you!!

Tell me is it only me who can't decide whats more beautiful, him or his songs? ❤😍

Most of my fave songs are unreleased pretending how it feels to be replaced knife in my back Worst day of my life *cri*

this song really brings me back a few years D:

You fall in love You take the risk There is no turning back Once you step in Whether you get a knife or you get roses It’s the part of the journey you have to accept it. Love is a gamble Were we can all take part Can be friends or enemy Have to leave to our destiny You can only survive If you let go all the bonds No Relations Just be happy for what they got People have different exposures which shapes their mindset That’s what they become as of present When you love you do not calculate So when they turn back why do you speculate Doesn’t mean we get the right to hurt each other emotionally But that also means you cannot love unconditionally But if you don’t, you will always miss something eternally As you did not love truly intentionally. Love is not a bond but power Which itself is independent and never gets tied up It makes you break all the bonds To get the happiness for the other, you truly want You have to love the person by all your heart Whether they acknowledges it or not Over time the threads can get weakened For that continued maintenance is needed So if you have guts then love Because things are pretty adulterated out in the world There’s too much pain and a little luck So be ready to get stabbed and shed the blood. You can keep loving And expect nothing As the other might not love you for anything. Hope they stop being selfish and realize what they got If not then let go, its their loss. But don’t hold any grudges As it can effect you for ages. Pray that your love is happy For the times you spent together That’s the best gift you can give to someone And embrace the future Love someone who loves you for you Even if you don’t As again love is power which can release you from the bonds And can show you a bright future which you never thought of. Forget the past Take the leap Go on an adventure And meet the beautiful souls whom you are meant to meet

Another amazing song😍 I can already tell I’m ganno be pumping this song all day long❤️❤️

" I thought we were FRIENDS but now we are ENEMIES " I can relate...

“We’re friends and then we’re enemies” -Alec Benjamin (Story of my life bro)

Verse 1: I am slowly learning that the things you promised me. Are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees. And every single secret has been broadcast like TV. Now all the threads are severed that were tying you to me. Pre Chorus(ty): I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies. I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies. Chorus: Pull your knife out of my back Your blood runs black I was just surprised on how you turned on me so fast. I let you in I held you close My blood flows like a river cuz i trusted you the most. And now i know its over. Verse2: I was so naive i even let you in my home. Took you out for dinner And let you wear my clothes. I can't even breathe I have your scent still in my nose. It's like i almost miss you I should've known. Pre Chorus: I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies. I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies. Chorus: Pull your knife out of my back Your blood runs black I was just surprised on how you turned on me so fast. I let you in I held you close My blood flows like a river cuz i trusted you the most. And now i know its over. Pre Chorus: I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies. I thought we Were friends but now we're Enemies. Chorus: Pull your knife out of my back Your blood runs black I was just surprised on how you turned on me so fast. I let you in I held you close My blood flows like a river cuz i trusted you the most. And now i know its over.

So relatable, these songs bring tears to my eyes but they are so amazing and emotional, I can't get over them, continue making songs for however long you shall live x

I actually discovered this song after my best friend left me We both had the same interests and the same sense of humor we even liked the same band from the 2000's and one day she just said "You were never there" and "I cant do this anymore" "Your a horrible person" And everything was normal till she called me on a Thursday, and I heard this song and It was so relaxing in a weird way Its probably because it means a-lot to me, so thank you.

when he said I thought we were friend but now were enemies just like my friends we broke the group. I'm on my mom account. I'm sad

I clicked this right away

lyrics: I am slowly learning, that the things you promised me are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees and every single secret has been broadcast like tv now all the treads are served that were tying you to me I thought we were friends but now we're enemies I thought we were friends but now we're enemies pull your knife out my of back, your blood runs black I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast I let you in, I held you close my blood flows like a river cause I trusted you the most and now I know it's over (wa-ooo ooo) and now I know it's over (wa-ooo ooo) and now I know it's over (wa-ooo ooo) and now I know it's over (wa-ooo ooo) I was so naive I even let you in my home took you out for dinner and let you wear my clothes I can't even breathe, I have your scent still in my nose it's like I almost miss you, I should've known I thought we were friends but now we're enemies I thought we were friends but now we're enemies pull your knife out of my back, your blood runs black I was just surprised at how you turned on me so fast I let you in, I held you close my blood flows like a river cause I trusted you the most and now I know it's over wa-ooo ooo (and now I know it's over) wa-ooo ooo (and now I know it's over) wa-ooo ooo (and now I know it's over) wa-ooo ooo I thought we were friends but now we're enemies I thought we were friends but now we're enemies pull your knife out of my back, your blood runs black I was just surprised at how you turned on my so fast I let you in, I held you close my blood flows like a river cause I trusted you the most and now I know it's over wa-ooo ooo (and now I know it's over) wa-ooo ooo (and now I know it's over) wa-ooo ooo (and now I know it's over) wa-ooo ooo~

Alec’s talented and seems like a genuinely great guy

i need this on spotify sobb

me accidentally saying the chorus out loud mom- well, i didn't think coronavirus was THAT bad me- mom, Alec's here, we're perfectly FINE.

6 years later and I'm listening to this song, Alec you help me so much when I need to cry or I'm sad, thank you so much for the amazing music! Your music is gonna play today(It's my birthday 🎉❤)

It's 2023 and this song is not released yet😢

But what about the knife in my chest?

OMG, I feel like this is telling my story! There was this girl that I trusted a lot and was always hanging out with her, I invited her over to my house and let her wear my clothes. And suddenly as she gained more popularity and started to know more ppl, she just turned her back on me and started talking shit about me like we were never friends. She started calling me crazy psychopath and said that I should be locked in an asylum, I was so hurt by those words but still I was not able to hate her...

This song does rlly hit hard for me rn For a couple years I had some friends I knew basically my whole life just leave me when I thought we where all good friends. I wish this was released it’s so good

Please bring this song back. I miss it :(

why does alec have so many beautiful songs that aren’t released? :(

My friend Sara: I hate Alec Benjamin Me (singing): I thought we were friends, but now we're enemies By the the way I dont have more a friend called Sara

My friend: I'll listen to Alec Benjamin, I promise *1 week later, they still haven't listened to it* "I am slowly learning that the things you promised me, are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees."

This song hits different when you think about your relationship with your mother.
