Boy Best Friend, Now My Bully

Lyrics

Verse 1
You were my boy best friend
Inside joke in every hallway
You were the one who'd see
Right through my “I’m fine” face

Shared secrets in the back row
You held my shaking hands through tests
You knew every crack in me
Better than the rest

Chorus
Now you laugh when I walk by
Turn our memories into knives
Hope you’re happy with the crowd you’ve got
Tearing down what you forgot
You were my boy best friend
Now you’re just another wound I mend
If this is what you needed to feel tall
Hope you’re happy
Hope it’s worth the fall

Verse 2
You twist the stories at your locker
Tell them I was always “too much”
But you were the one who called at midnight
Begging me to pick you up

You point at me
They start smiling
I hear my name and then the roar
Funny how the one who knew my scars
Keeps cutting more

Chorus
Now you laugh when I walk by
Turn our memories into knives
Hope you’re happy with the crowd you’ve got
Tearing down what you forgot
You were my boy best friend
Now you’re just another wound I mend
If this is what you needed to feel tall
Hope you’re happy
Hope it’s worth the fall

Bridge
Do you ever miss the bench by the field
Where we planned a life that felt so real?
Or did you trade me in for every cheer and shout
’Cause it’s easier to push me down than work it out?

Chorus
Now you laugh when I walk by
Turn our memories into knives
Hope you’re happy with the crowd you’ve got
Tearing down what you forgot
You were my boy best friend
But I won’t let your words define me again
You can keep your kingdom built on walls
Hope you’re happy
I’ll be here when it all falls
