Circle Tighter

[Verse 1]
We was talkin' in the kitchen
Phone face down, but your eyes keep switchin'
Every ping got you grinnin' at the screen
But when it's me, you move funny in between
You say, "They're just friends, why you mad?"
I'm calm, I'm just countin' what we had
You share our fights in the chat like a show
They know my sins before I even know
[Chorus]
Why you trust your friends more than you trust me?
Telling them the script from our ugly scenes
They got front row seats to our bad days
Now they in your head when we try again
Circle tighter, you push me to the edge
Pillow talk turned to a group thread
Why you trust your friends more than you trust me?
How they know our love more than we do? (yeah)
[Verse 2]
They say, "Girl, you could do better"
Now every joke from you feel clever
Little digs in your words, I can hear 'em
Voice in your mouth but it's their opinion
You used to ask me first, now you ask the chat
By the time I speak, you already picked a side of that
I'm not fightin' just them, I'm fightin' ten names
But I'm the one blamed when you feel strange
[Chorus]
Why you trust your friends more than you trust me?
Telling them the script from our ugly scenes
They got front row seats to our bad days
Now they in your head when we try again
Circle tighter, you push me to the edge
Pillow talk turned to a group thread
Why you trust your friends more than you trust me?
How they know our love more than we do? (how they know?)
[Bridge]
I ain't sayin' cut 'em off, I'm sayin' let me in
If we fall apart, I want it on us, not them
Can we keep one promise just between two hearts?
If you trust my hands, then trust my scars (yeah)
[Chorus]
Why you trust your friends more than you trust me?
Telling them the script from our ugly scenes
They got front row seats to our bad days
Now they in your head when we try again
Circle tighter, you push me to the edge
Pillow talk turned to a group thread
Why you trust your friends more than you trust me?
If we lose this thing, it's on me and you (on me and you)
