Intro
I don’t even know how to put into words what your friendship has meant to me.
You loved me through every broken piece,
And somehow, you made me believe I could be whole again.
This song is just a small piece of everything you are to me, Krista.
(Verse 1 — soft but steady, telling your story)
We’ve walked through fires, storms, and broken skies,
Laughed ’til we cried, held each other through the nights.
From every stupid fight to every midnight call,
You were the one who never let me fall.
Through every high, every shattered low,
You were the place I could always go.
(Chorus — emotional, proud, full of love)
You’re the friend that life got right,
My safe place, my brightest light.
Through every wrong turn, every broken weather,
We were built…
We were built for forever.
Through the tears, through the laughs, through every “remember when,”
Krista, you’re my once-in-a-lifetime friend.
(Verse 2 — even deeper, more memories)
You never needed me to be perfect to stay,
You just showed up and loved me anyway.
Every dream, every fear I tried to hide,
You were the voice saying, “Girl, you’ll be alright.”
You’re more than a chapter, you’re the whole damn book,
A million memories in every look.
(Chorus — stronger, more emotional)
You’re the friend that life got right,
My safe place, my brightest light.
Through every wrong turn, every broken weather,
We were built…
We were built for forever.
Through the tears, through the laughs, through every “remember when,”
Krista, you’re my once-in-a-lifetime friend.
(Bridge — soft, like a promise)
Years from now when we’re gray and wild,
I’ll still thank God you were by my side.
Through every heartbreak, through every fight
You never left.
You never let go.
(Final Chorus — big, emotional, full of pride and love)
You’re the friend that life got right,
My steady heart, my soul’s bright light.
Through every wrong turn, every broken weather,
We were built…
We were built for forever.
Through the years, through the scars, through every road we bend,
Krista, you’re my once-in-a-lifetime friend.
(Outro — soft and full of gratitude)
My once-in-a-lifetime…
Best friend.
