[Intro] [Verse 1] 3 weeks ago, you were all aglow A happiness you thought you'd never know But chemistry is combustible and rarely content Your blood boils ice cold as we fast forward to the present [Verse 2] Letting go of big plans for what lies ahead Now making plans for a sudden funeral Happiness hangs by a fickle thread Healing wounds this deep feels impossible Love the love of your life We never know when it's our time Letting go of the one in your life Slow creeping thru life feels impossible [Chorus] We know your heart's been torn to shreds Let's not start to pretend There's an easy start to what's hard to mend I will go easy and not pull up on a thread I know your heart is still messing, messing with your head I'll turn down your sheets, but must turn down the invite to your bed Treading carefully in the messages I send Ohhhh, right now, riiiight nowww… Cuz right now we need me to be your friend [Verse 3] There's no high gear when you're stuck in slow-mo I'm here for heavy tears when you're feeling stuck afraid, tho Falling from a high wire is dangerous, let's not tiptoe Falling into bed isn't fair to either of us Whether you're stuck or slip, oh no Don't lean in like that You deserve to be seen, but not like that [Chorus] We know your heart's been torn to shreds Let's not start to pretend There's an easy start to what's hard to mend I will go easy and not pull up on a thread I know your heart is still messing, messing with your head I'll turn down your sheets, but must turn down the invite to your bed Treading carefully in the messages I send Ohhhh, right now, riiiight nowww… Cuz right now we need me to be your friend [Bridge] I'll put on some tea so we can sip slow Sitting across from you, I can see A quivering lip you didn't wanna show Share that story you miss telling It'll go well with your chamomile I don't think anyone remembers the yelling Forgive yourself so that your heart can heal Tea is bitter without the sugar Life is just winter without sunlight She smiles a little, and I encourage her Don't rush this steep process, it wouldn't taste right This is the steepest part of liiiife (of your whole damn liiiife) [Chorus] We know your heart's been torn to shreds Let's not start to pretend There's an easy start to what's hard to mend I will go easy and not pull up on a thread I know your heart is still messing, messing with your head I'll turn down your sheets, but must turn down the invite to your bed Treading carefully in the messages I send Ohhhh, right now, riiiight nowww… Cuz right now we need me to be your friend [Outro] Hmm-mmm, right now... Just be your friend.
