[Intro] [Soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, 4 bars] [Intimate, close mic]

[Verse 1] [Low register, fast conversational density] [Soft breathy vocal] I'm scrolling back through all our texts The ones where we were laughing still The blue light bleeding on my face I'm counting weeks since you called back

One day we're good, the next you're gone No fight, no falling out, no scene You just got quiet on your end And I don't know what any of it means

[Pre-Chorus] [Building, mid register] I keep turning it around inside my head Was it something that I said? Or something I should've done instead? I don't know, I just don't know

[Chorus] [High register, slow sparse notes] [Belting, sustained vowels] [Full band, swelling strings] I'm still your friend Even when your words get cold Even when I don't understand I'm still your friend It's tearing me apart to hold this close But I'm still your friend

[Verse 2] [Low register, fast conversational density] [Soft breathy vocal] You answered me but watched the door Like I was barely even there Made plans with everyone but me I found out from a photo on my phone

I swallowed all the words I had Because maybe you're just hurting too But my stomach's hollow, hands are cold And I keep replaying what you do

[Pre-Chorus] [Building, mid register] I keep turning it around inside my head Was it something that I said? Or something I should've done instead? I don't know, I just don't know

[Bridge] [Stripped to voice and piano] [Intimate whisper, fragile] (breathe) I've been holding this like it's mine to carry But He already knows how a friend's betrayal burns So I'm laying every heavy thing down at His feet 'Cause He's strong enough to hold what I can't

[Final Chorus] [High register, slow sparse notes] [Belting, full release] [Full band, biggest swell] I'm still your friend Even when your words get cold Even when I don't understand I'm still your friend I'm letting go of everything I can't control I'm still your friend

[Outro] [Soft fingerpicked guitar, fading] [Whispered vocal] (whisper) I'm still your friend I'm still your friend
