☾⋆⁺₊ Friends Don’t Cut That Deep ₊⁺⋆☽

[Intro] You said… “Why does this always happen to me?” (to me… to me…) [Verse 1] You looked like safety at the time Like somebody who just understood Had me mistaking sharp edges For something honest, something good You wore chaos like confidence Everybody moved when you spoke And I kept laughing at the damage Long before it left me broke I ignored the way you talked about people Like kindness was weakness to you Funny how the ones who judge the loudest Always got the darkest truth [Pre-Chorus] I kept calling it loyalty Even when it hurt to stay And every time I saw the warning signs I looked the other way [Chorus] Friends don’t cut that deep (deep… deep… deep…) Don’t watch you bleed (bleed… bleed… bleed…) I kept mistaking pain for loyalty Loyalty… (loyalty… loyalty…) While you watched me drown slowly Friends don’t cut that deep (deep… deep… deep…) Don’t steal your sleep (sleep… sleep… sleep…) Friends don’t make you hide the truth Don’t make you lose your peace [Verse 2] Bit my tongue Paid the cost Held your name While I got lost Red flags waving I called them proof Like staying loyal Made it true You made cruel Sound like charm Had me clapping Through the harm I cleaned blood Off your blade Called it love Called it grace Everybody saw it I said, “No, you don’t know” I was scared to lose the version That you only let me hold [Pre-Chorus] You knew exactly how to wound me How to keep me in my place And every time I tried to leave you You pulled me back into the same [Chorus] Friends don’t cut that deep (deep… deep… deep…) Don’t watch you bleed (bleed… bleed… bleed…) I kept mistaking pain for loyalty Loyalty… (loyalty… loyalty…) While you watched me drown slowly Friends don’t cut that deep (deep… deep… deep…) Don’t steal your sleep (sleep… sleep… sleep…) Friends don’t make you hide the truth Don’t make you lose your peace [Bridge] I thought loyalty meant staying Thought love meant taking hits Thought if I just held on longer The good in you would come back again But every warning felt familiar Every cut I learned to hide Funny how you lose yourself slow Tryna keep somebody in your life [Final Chorus] Friends don’t cut that deep (deep… deep… deep…) Don’t watch you bleed (bleed… bleed… bleed…) I kept mistaking pain for loyalty Loyalty… (loyalty… loyalty…) While you watched me drown slowly Friends don’t cut that deep (deep… deep… deep…) Don’t leave you weak (weak… weak… weak…) Friends don’t make you hide the truth Don’t make you lose your peace [Outro] And I still catch myself sometimes Missing who I thought you were But distance finally taught me Pain was never proof of love
