**Friendly Fire**

**Verse 1**  
I still see you in the corner of my mind  
Laughing at the jokes we left behind  
Coffee cups and easy conversations  
We built a bridge with gentle revelations

The feelings grew on just one side  
I stepped away before the tide  
I wore the ring that held my promise true  
And chose the path I always knew

**Pre-Chorus**  
And I wonder if you understand the space I had to take  
I did it out of kindness, so nothing had to break

**Chorus**  
It was friendly fire, soft and slow  
A warmth that couldn’t fully grow  
I pulled away before it hurt us both  
God, I wish I didn’t know  
How good a friend you could have been  
If only, if only, if only then  
But I chose the life I promised to  
And I’m sorry that meant losing you

**Verse 2**  
I drive past the street where we used to walk  
I smile at memories, though we don’t talk  
Some days the quiet feels a little heavy  
Most days it feels like mercy, truly

I hope you found your peace and light  
Someone who fits just right  
I hope you’re laughing in the sun  
The way good friends would have done

**Pre-Chorus**  
And I hope you know I kept the best of us  
In a quiet place that gathers no dust

**Bridge**  
Maybe in another version of this story  
We’re waving hello at a café when we’re forty  
Talking like old friends who never had to part  
Light and easy hearts, no fragile hearts  
But this is the one we’re living in  
And I’ll carry the kindness now and then

**Final Chorus** *(softer)*  
It was friendly fire, kind of blue  
The sweetest almost I ever knew  
I hope you’re happy, I really do  
In the life that’s meant for you  
I’ll keep the friend you could have been  
In the quiet place where what-if lives  
I chose the life I promised to  
And I’ll always wish the best for you

**Outro**  
Friendly fire… soft and true  
I’m glad I knew you  
I’m glad I knew you
