You Left Me for My Best Friend

Intro

oh-oh, oh-oh, uh

Verse

I kept your hoodie on the floor like it belonged to me

Tangled in your jokes, tucked into your melody

You knew the way my laugh would lift the room, yeah

I carved our weekends into maps that led to you

Pre-chorus

Late texts that glowed like small betrayals (stay, stay)

A name I knew too well on the other end of the line

You said it was nothing, just a joke we both would laugh at

But your silence said the truth a thousand times

Chorus

You left me for my best friend, you left me for my best friend

You left me for my best friend, you left me for my best friend

You kept the good parts, sold the rest, oh-oh (oh)

You left me for my best friend — yeah, you left me for my best friend

Verse

Found their pictures on your phone like a knife in slow motion

Two coffees, my sweater, that song you swore you'd never mention

They used to call me while they dialed your name in secret (na-na)

Swore our secrets were safe, but you both carried different keys

Pre-chorus

I replayed every laugh that now sounds like an accusation (uh-huh)

All the little lies dressed up as loyalty and plans

You said we were forever, they said we were a story

Turns out forever had a footnote in someone else's hand

Chorus

You left me for my best friend, you left me for my best friend

You left me for my best friend, you left me for my best friend

You kept the good parts, sold the rest, oh-oh (oh)

You left me for my best friend — yeah, you left me for my best friend

Bridge

So here's to all the midnight calls that turned into excuses

Here's to every time I stayed and forgot to choose me

I'm burning loose the photographs, the names, the old confessions

Watch me learn my own name without you two in the margins (watch me)

Chorus

You left me for my best friend, you left me for my best friend

You left me for my best friend, you left me for my best friend

You kept the good parts, sold the rest, oh-oh (oh)

You left me for my best friend — yeah, you left me for my best friend

Outro

(na-na) I'm learning how to breathe again

(oh) I'm learning how to laugh again

(yeah) I'm learning how to let go — let go, let go
