Verse
Some people arrive like weather
Change the color of your days
They swear they’re forever
Then forever finds another place
We built a language out of late nights
Out of secrets we swore were safe
Funny how close can turn to distant
Without either side being to blame
Pre-Chorus
No one tells you when it’s ending
There’s no moment you can name
One day you’re talking like nothing’s wrong
Next day it’s just the space
Chorus
Some friends are chapters
Not the whole damn book
Some stay long enough to shape you
Then leave you with the look
That says “I was here, I mattered”
Even if I walked away
Some friends are fire
Some are ash
And that’s life
That’s life
Verse 2
I still hear your voice in certain songs
Still laugh at things you’d say
Still reach for my phone sometimes
Then let it fade away
We weren’t broken, we were changing
Pulled by different gravity
You wanted peace, I wanted motion
Neither wrong, just couldn’t be
Pre-Chorus
I don’t hate you for surviving
I hope you don’t hate me
We just stopped walking side by side
Somewhere between who we were and who we’d be
Chorus
Some friends are chapters
Not the whole damn book
Some stay long enough to save you
Then leave without a look
That says “this hurts, but thank you”
For every shared scar and name
Some friends are fire
Some are ash
And that’s life
That’s life
Bridge
I’ve learned not to call it failure
When someone doesn’t stay
Some people teach you how to stand
By knowing when to walk away
I don’t carry anger anymore
Just weight and memory
If I loved you once, that means something
Even now, even silently
Final Chorus
Some friends are chapters
And some are the spark
That lights a part of you
You didn’t know was dark
If we never speak again
Know this is what I’ll say
You were real
You were needed
You helped me live another way
Some friends come
Some friends go
And that’s life
That’s life
Outro
No villain
No goodbye scene
Just two people
Who meant something
In between
