Lyrics

(Hey—I know it's been a minute just call me back whenever you get this)
We grew up
Didn't we
And we think too much
Should've called you more but
Those years turned into memories
And all along
All I could think was
Play it over in my mind
Felt like it changed overnight and
I just never thought I'd feel the way, I
Know it doesn't make it right
Only made me hold on tighter
I did what I had to do
Got what I was looking for
When I finally found the truth
Didn't think you'd be collateral
A brief eclipse
Of confidence
Felt confident that
We'd still be friends but
All I have now is memories
I always said you'd get the best of me
Play it over in my mind
Felt like it changed overnight an
I just never thought I'd feel the way, I
Know it doesn't make it right
Only made me hold on tighter
(Only made me hold on tighter)
I did what I had to do
(I did what I had to do, yeah)
Got what I was looking for
When I finally found the truth
(When I finally found, when I finally found)
Didn't think you'd be collateral
(No this ain't how I thought it would be, no, no)
I did what I had to do
Got what I was looking for
When I finally found the truth
Didn't think you'd be collateral
(Had to do)
(Looking for)
(Found the truth)
(Be collateral)
Our friendship is a memory
A rug pulled out from under me
A light brown rectangle
On a dark wooden floor
Unprotected and exposed
And I thought no one else could know
Just how it felt to hold you close
How it felt to love you most
I'll always miss your Welcome Home
