Best Friend, Ex Now

Lyrics

Verse 1
You were my ride at 2am
Hand on the wheel
Not on my skin
Laughing at names in my phone
Swearing we'd both die alone

You knew my first
My worst
My scars
Sat in the backseat counting stars
Everyone thought we were a thing
We said
"no
We’re just anything but that"

Chorus
Now you’re my ex boy best friend
Is this how the story ends?
From "tell me everything"
To strangers who don’t say a thing
You said you’d always choose my side
Guess "always" had an end
Losing you once was bad
Losing you twice as a friend

Verse 2
You crossed a line with one late text
"I miss you more than I should" you said
I answered slow
You answered fast
We lit a match in all that gas

Then came the fights
The jealous calls
Your new girl’s eyes burning holes through walls
I watched you fold
I watched you flinch
You let our history make her win

Chorus
Now you’re my ex boy best friend
Is this how the story ends?
From "tell me everything"
To strangers who don’t say a thing
You said you’d always choose my side
Guess "always" had an end
Losing you once was bad
Losing you twice as a friend

Bridge
I keep your hoodie in the dark
Not for the love
Just for the start (yeah)
For all the days we didn’t break
Before we turned into this ache

Chorus
Now you’re my ex boy best friend
Guess this is the way it ends
From "call me anytime"
To skipping past your name each time
You said you’d always choose my side
But stories twist
Then bend
Losing you once was bad
Losing you twice as a friend
(as a friend, as a friend)
