What Friends Could Be by Elyse Shackleton Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You broke my heart but not
In the way that they all thought
You meant everything to me
Because that’s what friends can be
So when we finally fixed
Our problems brick by brick
No one else believed
That that’s what friends could be

[Chorus]
I’m sorry that our battles
Weren’t ours to fight
More than we could handle
Corrupted by the outside
But somehow we got here
You came home to me
But no one elsе accepted
That that’s what friends could bе

[Verse 2]
I never understood
How anyone misread your character
To me, it was always clear
So much love and kindness there
And they misread me too
Fundamental parts of me
The way I see my friends
How much I value loyalty

[Chorus]
I’m sorry that our battles
Weren’t ours to fight
More than we could handle
Corrupted by the outside
But somehow we got here
You came home to me
But no one else accepted
That that’s what friends could be

[Bridge]
I sorted out my head
And you came back to me
We fought to be friends
Because that's what friends can be

I'm sick of people telling me
What I do and do not feel
I fight for people close to me
Because that's what friends can be
We always bounce back
You once said that to me
The past says past
That's what friends can be

You became a part of me
Nothing less and nothing more
And if I wrote a song or three
Well, that's what friends are for

[Chorus]
I’m sorry that our battles
Weren’t ours to fight
More than we could handle
Corrupted by the outside
But somehow we got here
You came home to me
But no one else accepted
That that’s what friends could be
