Still Friends, Still Close

Verse 1

We were just friends, yeah, it started that way

Laughing too loud, losing track of our days

Had our ups, had our downs, drifted apart

Closed doors, broken trust, heavy hearts

Then one day you reached out, called my name

And somehow it all didn’t feel the same

Late-night talks, long drives, hanging out

I felt something shift, I had to ask you about

Pre-Chorus

I saw in you something I can’t ignore

But your heart belongs to something more

Still I had to speak, still I had to try

Even if it meant I’d cry

Chorus

I thought we could be more than friends

But you told me clearly where the line ends

Different paths, different faiths, it’s true

But I still love who you are, just being you

It hurts, but I respect you and your choice

I’ll keep your friendship close, I’ll still rejoice

Even if it’s not the love I dreamed

We’re still friends, still close — that’s still a step forward, it seems

Verse 2

You showed me things I never knew

Taught me your world, your faith, your truth

I’ve learned, I’ve grown, from our time together

Your family, your kindness, I’ll treasure forever

I love your laughter, your energy, your light

How you support my goals, always bright

I can feel the care you put into life

It reminds me why I’m glad you’re in my life

Pre-Chorus

Even if my heart feels a little ache

I know this pain isn’t a mistake

It just means I value you, your time, your space

And I’ll hold it all with grace

Chorus

I thought we could be more than friends

But you told me clearly where the line ends

Different paths, different faiths, it’s true

But I still love who you are, just being you

It hurts, but I respect you and your choice

I’ll keep your friendship close, I’ll still rejoice

Even if it’s not the love I dreamed

We’re still friends, still close — that’s still a step forward, it seems

Bridge

No regrets, no anger, no blame

I’m grateful for you just the same

Sometimes love is not what we get

But what we learn and never forget

Final Chorus

I thought we could be more than friends

But you told me clearly where the line ends

Different paths, different faiths, it’s true

But I still love who you are, just being you

It hurts, but I respect you and your choice

I’ll keep your friendship close, I’ll still rejoice

Even if it’s not the love I dreamed

We’re still friends, still close — that’s still a step forward, it seems

Outro

Still friends, still close

Still a step forward

Still friends, still close

Still a step forward
