[Verse 1]
[M] You knew my mom's name
[F] I knew your shoes by the door
[M] Friday fries in a paper bag
[F] Secrets spilled on your floor
[M] We swore we'd stay the same
[F] But people change their shape
[M] Still I hear your laugh sometimes
[F] Like it never got too late
[Pre-Chorus]
[M] We were young and loud
[F] Two sparks in one crowd
[M] Said forever out loud
[F] Now forever sounds proud
[Chorus]
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] But they leave marks
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] They live in your heart
[M] We said "always"
[F] Then came apart
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] But they leave marks
[Verse 2]
[M] Your jacket on my chair
[F] My name in your old phone
[M] Road trips with a busted map
[F] Singing like we owned the road
[M] You took the left way
[F] I took the hard way back
[M] Funny how the closest hands
[F] Can let go just like that
[Pre-Chorus]
[M] We were young and loud
[F] Two sparks in one crowd
[M] Said forever out loud
[F] Now forever sounds proud
[Chorus]
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] But they leave marks
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] They live in your heart
[M] We said "always"
[F] Then came apart
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] But they leave marks
[Bridge]
[F] If I pass your street
[M] I still slow down
[F] Some names stay warm
[M] Even when they're not around
[F] I don't hate the ending
[M] I just hate the door
[F] That closed on us so softly
[M] Still I reach for more
[Final Chorus]
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] But they leave marks
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] They live in your heart
[M] We said "always"
[F] Then came apart
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] But they leave marks
[M] Best friends don't last
[F] Best friends don't last
