[Verse 1]
You said we’d be friends forever
Laughing on that broken couch
Crossed our hearts like we were clever
Thought that promise meant it counted
You looked right into my eyes
Told a story dressed in white
Funny how we name it “truth”
When we’re hiding what’s inside
[Chorus]
You said we will be friends forever
But time wrote the truth in the sky
When we tell a lie as the truth
That truth starts feeling like a lie
But when the truth is living in us
It don’t bend
It don’t break
It don’t die
When the truth is deep in us
It can’t be a lie
Can’t be a lie (oh no)
[Verse 2]
Old texts in a dusty folder
Your smile on a faded screen
Every word now sounds colder
Than the silence in between
I forgave you in a whisper
I forgave myself out loud
Guess the truth is not a sentence
It’s the way we walk it out
[Chorus]
You said we will be friends forever
But time wrote the truth in the sky
When we tell a lie as the truth
That truth starts feeling like a lie
But when the truth is living in us
It don’t bend
It don’t break
It don’t die
When the truth is deep in us
It can’t be a lie
Can’t be a lie (yeah)
[Bridge]
Maybe forever just meant “right now”
Maybe we meant it and lost the how
I still believe in the words we hide
‘Cause truth don’t shake when the stories slide
[Chorus]
You said we will be friends forever
But time wrote the truth in the sky
When we tell a lie as the truth
That truth starts feeling like a lie
But when the truth is living in us
It don’t bend
It don’t break
It don’t die
When the truth is deep in us
It can’t be a lie
Can’t be a lie
Can’t be a lie
