(Verse 1) The party's over, the lights are low The crowd is thinning, where did they all go? I look around at the wreckage we made Wondering who's real, and who just played the charade. When the glitter faded and the good times stalled, I finally saw the faces who wouldn't be called. (Chorus) 'Cause the storm didn't just break the glass, it washed the lies away. And I'm standing in the silence at the close of the day. It took the bottom falling out to see the simple truth, That the ones who stayed right by me are my only living proof. The fairweather friends? They vanished in the haze. But the solid few are shining through these lonely days. (Verse 2) There was one who always smiled so wide, But when I whispered trouble, she had somewhere to hide. Another promised loyalty with hands upon their heart, Then cut the line and left me stranded right from the start. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it clears the sight, To see the difference between dim and true bright light. (Chorus) 'Cause the storm didn't just break the glass, it washed the lies away. And I'm standing in the silence at the close of the day. It took the bottom falling out to see the simple truth, That the ones who stayed right by me are my only living proof. The fairweather friends? They vanished in the haze. But the solid few are shining through these lonely days. (Bridge) And you, you never had to shout your name. You just arrived with a blanket and a flame. Didn't ask for reasons, didn't need to know the score. You just stood beside me, asking what I was fighting for. The silent phone calls, the messages unread— Suddenly they make sense, all the things that weren't said. (Outro) So let the pretenders chase the sun. My real ones stuck around when the damage was done. Yeah, it took a little breaking, it took a fall from grace, To finally know the love in this genuine embrace. (Oh, the genuine embrace...)
