Friends

We were young and full of plans
World too big for our two hands
Talking ‘bout the life we’d chase
Swore we’d never lose our place

Some got lost along the way
Some just slowly drifted away
But a few stayed right here
Through the doubt, through the fear

When the lights went out
You were still around

These are the friends who stayed
These are the friends who stayed
When the world just walked away

These are the friends who stayed
Through every night and every day
When everything began to break

These are the ones who know
Every high and every low
Not just when it’s easy then
These are more than friends

We’ve seen better, we’ve seen worse
Shared the silence, shared the hurt
No pretending, nothing fake
Every crack we didn’t break

Time moves on, but here we stand
Different roads, but still the same
Through the years, through the change
We don’t have to explain

No need for words
You already heard

These are the friends who stayed
These are the friends who stayed
When the world just walked away

These are the friends who stayed
Through every night and every day
When everything began to break

These are the ones who know
Every high and every low
Not just when it’s easy then
These are more than friends

No spotlight, no parade
Just the promises we made
In the quiet, in the storm
That’s where we belong

Some will come and some will go
But the real ones always show
Not in words, but in the end
That’s what makes them friends

These are the friends who stayed
These are the friends who stayed
When the world just walked away

These are the friends who stayed
Through every night and every day
When everything began to break

These are the ones who know
What we never even show
Not just now and not just then
These are more than friends

These are the friends who stayed
