[Verse 1] Friends — yeah, we throw that word around Half the time they’re gone when you’re underground Text threads dead, blue ticks like tombstones “Ride or die,” but they left you alone You laugh together when the money’s right Then ghost each other by the morning light Everyone’s loyal — ’til the storm begins That’s the tragedy of modern friends [Pre-Chorus] We share the memes, the shots, the lies But where you at when my signal dies? [Chorus] F-R-I-E-N-D-S — say it loud, it don’t mean much Half are fake, the rest outta touch I bleed for the few who stay ’til the end The rest just fade — and call it “friend” [Verse 2] You had her back ’til she stabbed yours first Now trust’s a wound that only gets worse Heard your name dropped in someone’s mouth Guess that’s what loyalty’s all about You gave your keys, they took your heart Turned your life into falling apart You laugh it off, but it still offends That’s what we get for calling them friends [Pre-Chorus 2] Screens glow bright but hearts stay cold Every story told gets re-sold [Chorus 2] F-R-I-E-N-D-S — scream it out, no pretend Ones we can depend on — rare as oxygen You think you’re real — then the silence bends Guess we were lovers before we were friends [Bridge – Breakdown] No halos, no handshakes Just heartbreak mixtapes Raise your glass — to the ones who stayed All the ghosts just fade away [Final Chorus] F-R-I-E-N-D-S — carved on skin, scarred again Some lift you up, some pull you in Through summer, winter, fire, and rain Only the real ones still remain (Feedback fade-out + crowd chant “friends… friends… friends…”)
