[VERSE 1]
You showed up with your backpack loose
Laughing loud like you had nothing to lose
We traded jokes and secrets fast
Like every moment might be our last
We’d run wild down empty streets
Talking ’bout plans we’d never keep
And somehow, in the middle of it all
You became the one I’d always call
[PRE-CHORUS]
She won’t say your name, just says “that girl”
Like you’re a red stain on a white shirt
And I pretend that I don’t see
How tight her voice gets when it's you and me
[CHORUS]
She says you’re not her type of friend
Says you bend rules more than you can mend
But you hold my secrets better than she
Has ever held a space for the real me
She’s got her doubts behind polite eyes
But I’d rather run with you than live in disguise
She thinks I’ll outgrow you, like some phase in time
But she’s wrong — you’re the reason I survived
[VERSE 2]
You blast songs she calls “too loud”
Teach me how to speak without tuning out
And maybe you wear a heart like fire
But it's a warmth that I desire
She keeps her thoughts in sighs and stays busy
Says she just wants “what’s best for me”
But sometimes friendships can feel like rules
And you’re the only one who breaks them cool
[PRE-CHORUS]
She tells me kindness comes in calm
But you showed up when my world was gone
And I’m not sorry for who I’ve found
Even if she wants you out
[CHORUS]
She says you’re not her type of friend
Says you bend rules more than you can mend
But you hold my secrets better than she
Has ever held a space for the real me
She’s got her doubts behind polite eyes
But I’d rather run with you than live in disguise
She thinks I’ll outgrow you, like some phase in time
But she’s wrong — you’re the reason I survived
[BRIDGE]
Maybe she’ll never understand
How healing looks with glitter hands
Maybe friendship's not quiet, clean
Maybe it shows up in ripped jeans
[CHORUS]
She says you’re not her type of friend
Says you bend rules more than you can mend
But you hold my secrets better than she
Has ever held a space for the real me
She’s got her doubts behind polite eyes
But I’d rather run with you than live in disguise
She thinks I’ll outgrow you, like some phase in time
But she’s wrong — you’re the reason I survived
[OUTRO] She's wrong-you're the reason I survived
