Best Friends

[Intro] Yeah... Everybody keep askin' who saved me... Who stayed... This one for my Butterfly. Ain't never had a road map, only broken roads, Carried all my battles underneath these heavy clothes. Everybody judged from the ink upon my skin, Never saw the war that I was fighting deep within. They said, "You'll never make it." Said, "You'll never belong." Then you walked into my life And somehow proved 'em wrong. Didn't try to rewrite me. Didn't ask me to pretend. You just took my hand and said, "I'll walk it to the end." To my Butterfly... My forever ride. When the whole world turned away, You were standing by my side. You're my safe place. You're my prayer when I can't speak. You're the reason I still stand When life brings me to my knees. Yeah... I got my best friend... Every scar got a story, every chapter got pain, Every storm that we survived made us stronger through the rain. People only saw the ashes, never saw the fire grow, Never watched two broken hearts become a place called home. You believed before I did. Saw the king beneath the doubt. When I couldn't find the light, You became the way back out. When the walls start closing... You remind me who I am. When tomorrow feels impossible... You already have a plan. [Chopper Verse] Never gonna let another second of a blessing ever pass me by, Living every minute with the woman that was heaven in my life. Everybody talking but they never really knew about the sacrifice, Building every dream from the pieces of another shattered paradise. Look at what we overcame. Look at every ounce of pain. Turned it into something beautiful, Nothing ever stays the same. Heartbeat synchronized, every soul tied together. Walking through the darkest weather knowing we can face whatever. You don't just love me... you understand me. That's a language only heaven handed. To my Butterfly... My forever friend. If I had to live this whole life over... I'd still choose you again. You're my answered prayer. You're my calm inside the fight. You're the voice that pulls me home When I lose myself at night. Yeah... I got my best friend... My wife. Always. Yeah... Everybody asks why she still believes... Lemme tell you... I ain't never been the picture people wanted to frame, Walked through fire, carried scars, never hid from the pain. Whole world pointing fingers, writing me off as done, But she looked beyond the smoke and saw who I'd become. They judged the ink. She read my soul. They counted losses. She counted goals. Everybody saw a fighter with his back to the wall. She saw the man who'd still stand tall after every fall. I'm her best friend... Her shelter in the rain. When the whole world disappeared, I stayed through every pain. I'm her safe place. Her calm inside the fight. The one who holds her hand When the days become the night. Yeah... I'm her best friend... She don't have to hide the tears she cries around me. She don't have to wear a mask pretending she's happy. Every fear she ever whispered, every dream she couldn't say, I keep 'em close inside my heart, never letting them fade. When her wings get heavy, I'm the wind beneath 'em. When doubt starts talking, I'm the voice that defeats it. I don't just hear her... I understand. If the whole world vanished tomorrow... She'd never stand alone. Because home... Was never a place. Home... Was always us. [Chopper Verse] Loving her louder than every opinion they ever delivered, I'm never gonna quit it. Built from the battles and broken beginnings, we're living and proving we're bigger. Every day stronger, together forever, whatever the weather, I'm holding the line. If she gets weary, I carry the weight until she remembers the strength inside. I'm the shoulder. I'm the anchor. I'm the laughter after tears. Every promise that I made... I'm still standing here. I'm her best friend... Before I'm anything else. Before the titles, before the rings, Before the stories we tell. I'm her safe place. Her peace when the world won't bend. If anybody asks who I am... Tell 'em... I'm her best friend.
