Verse 1)
We’ve walked this road for a while now,
Laughing like nothing could break us down.
You look at me with a heart so loud,
Even when your truth stayed hidden in the crowd.
I felt the shift, I saw the sign,
But I never asked, I just held the line.
’Cause friends like us don’t fade with time —
We just learn how to redefine.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I know you cared in your own quiet way,
Afraid that the truth might push me away.
But boy, you should know I’m still here today…
(Chorus)
’Cause you’re still my buddy, you’re still my Paige,
Even when love got tangled in a different place.
You kept your heart guarded, tried to keep me safe,
But you never had to hide from me that way.
We ain’t perfect, but we’re still okay —
Still talking, still laughing, still finding our space.
You’re still my buddy, you’re still my Paige.
(Verse 2)
Sometimes the truth takes time to see,
And feelings get tangled between you and me.
You cared too much, that’s what made you freeze,
Afraid to lose the bond we built so deep.
But I’m not mad, no, I’m grateful still,
For every moment that felt so real.
We’ve got something time can’t steal —
A friendship that knows how to heal.
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t worry ’bout the things you didn’t say,
I’m not walking out, I’m here to stay.
Just know we’ll be fine at the end of the day…
(Chorus)
’Cause you’re still my buddy, you’re still my Paige,
Even when love got tangled in a different place.
You kept your heart guarded, tried to keep me safe,
But you never had to hide from me that way.
We ain’t perfect, but we’re still okay —
Still talking, still laughing, still finding our space.
You’re still my buddy, you’re still my Paige.
(Bridge)
Maybe in another life, things could be different,
But in this one, we’ve got something consistent.
A bond, a vibe, a closeness that’s rare —
And I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere.
(Final Chorus)
You’re still my buddy, you’re still my Paige,
Even with truths that took time to face.
No matter what changes, I’m still in your space —
’Cause friends like us never just fade.
Yeah, you’re still my buddy, you’re still my Paige.
