[Verse 1]
You pull up in that rust red truck
Mud on the tires, same old luck
You hug my mama, spin my kid around
Act like this is just your side of town
[Verse 2]
We talk work and weather, like we used to do
Skip around the truth between me and you
Your hand finds mine on the porch swing chain
Two grown women, hearts still the same
[Chorus]
We can’t be lovers, but I still love you
That’s the hardest kind of honest to live through
You wear that smile like it don’t hurt
I laugh along, bite back the words
Two rings, two lives, split right down one truth
We can’t be lovers
But I still love you
[Verse 3]
I still remember your old blue room
Posters peeling, cheap perfume
Sneaking kisses in the TV glow
Calling it “best friends,” only we would know
[Bridge]
I chose a safe road, you chose one too
Sunday dresses, different pews
If we met right now, brand‑new names
Would we jump, or stay the same?
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Truck tail lights down the gravel drive
You wave once more, I go inside
Wash my face at the kitchen sink
Whisper your name
But I never say what I really think
