[Verse 1] We carved our names in the wet cement Said “forever” like we meant that word Shared blame, shared blood, shared rent Now you ghost my calls, that’s absurd You were front row when the crown got close Smiling in my shadow like the shine was yours Put a mask on my wins, turned “we” to “most” Now you flinch when it thunders by my door You liked me More as a story Than as the girl Who had to bleed for the glory Guess we know why [Chorus] They were my friends in the face of glory Now they’re strangers before the storm I held the sky, they held the camera Now they’re quiet while the clouds deform (yeah) I built a bridge, they brought matches Watched me walk while the river roared They were my friends in the face of glory Now they’re strangers before the storm [Verse 2] You drank free shots off my good days Talked big “us” talk, stamped my name on your sleeve Now my phone lights up with the flood warnings Yours stays dark, you just leave I held you up when your walls cracked open You held your tongue when they came for me Watched their teeth in my open wounds Then blamed the bite marks on my “destiny” You liked me When I was shining Not when I was Barely surviving [Chorus] You were my friends in the face of glory Now just strangers before the storm I face You kissed my ring, tried to claim my story Now you turn your back as the sky inflames Yeah, you dipped when the sky got violent Left me alone with the wind and sirens You were my friends in the face of glory Now you’re strangers, strangers in the storm I face [Bridge] Look at you Backing out the frame (hey) When the colors smear When they spell my name I’ll stand in the downpour, crown gone rust Lightning on my tongue, thunder in my trust If the rain washes you out of my past Then I guess this storm Was a gift at last (oh) [Chorus] You were my friends in the face of glory Now you're strangers before the storm I face I held you close in my faded story Now I scream your names and it’s just dead space You were my friends in the face of glory Turned your backs when the thunder formed I walk alone through the cracked and gory You’re strangers You’re strangers before the storm (before the storm)
