RIDE OR DIE (BUT YOU’RE GONE) (Pop‑punk / emotional / in-my-feelings with spoken bridge) [Verse 1] Yeah, we burned like summer lightning two kids who never learned to slow down you were chaos in a sundress I was trying not to drown but damn, you made the world feel softer with your laugh and your late‑night meals I swear I still taste your cooking in the empty space I feel and I hate that we’re not talking like we used to every day ’cause you’re still the one I’d run to if your whole world fell away [Pre‑Chorus] And I know we said we’d stay friends but it’s hard when I miss you this bad I’m proud of you, I’m happy for you but losing us still hits like a crash [Chorus] ’Cause you’re my ride or die even if you’re not mine I miss your smile, your big brown eyes the way you held me when life got loud and I’m mad we’re not around each other now I miss your touch, your voice, your light I’d drop everything if you called tonight yeah, you’re still the one I’d fight the world beside my ride or die [Verse 2] You always saw the good in me even when I swore it wasn’t there you patched me up with kindness and fingers running through my hair I miss the way you’d talk to me like I was someone worth the time now I scroll through old messages just to feel you in my life and I hate that we’re strangers with a history that still burns I’d give anything to see you even if it hurts [Pre‑Chorus] And I know we said we’d stay close but life pulled us into different lanes I’m proud of you, I’m rooting for you but losing us still hits like a flame [Chorus] ’Cause you’re my ride or die even if you’re not mine I miss your smile, your big brown eyes the way you held me when life got loud and I’m mad we’re not around each other now I miss your touch, your voice, your light I’d drop everything if you called tonight yeah, you’re still the one I’d fight the world beside my ride or die [Spoken Punk Bridge — raw, emotional] Look… I don’t know how we got here. I don’t know when “forever” turned into “hope you’re doing okay.” But I still think about you when something good happens and you’re still the first person I’d call if my world fell apart. And it kills me that I don’t get to see you, that I don’t get to hear you laugh, that I don’t get to sit in your kitchen and watch you cook like you used to. I miss you. More than I ever say out loud. [Final Chorus] ’Cause you’re my ride or die even if you’re not mine I miss your smile, your big brown eyes the way you held me when life got loud and I’m mad we’re not around each other now I miss your touch, your voice, your light I’d drop everything if you called tonight yeah, you’re still the one I’d fight the world beside my ride or die my ride or die
