What Are Friends For

(album: Big Dumb Heart, Chapter 2 - 2023)

Gave it to you straight
Yeah I knew it straight away
He was gonna let you down
Gonna have to find out for yourself
Gave it a go
Guess you had to touch the stove
Had to let the flame burn out
Hate to see you hurting now

I won't say I told you so
I'll hold you when he won't

Even if it's 2 AM
And you said you wouldn't cry again
You can show up at my door and pour your heart out on my floor
Why are you not on your way
Just 10 minutes on the interstate
If you can't show up at my door
And pour your heart out on my floor
Then what are friends for

We can order too much food
Watch a movie in my room
Tomorrow we'll be sleeping in
Waking up at 2 PM
When he texts you back
I'll make sure you don't text back
Remind you all the things he's done
How he only gave the minimum

I won't say I told you so
I'll hold you when he won't

Even if it's 2 AM
And you said you wouldn't cry again
You can show up at my door and pour your heart out on my floor
Why are you not on your way
Just 10 minutes on the interstate
If you can't show up at my door
And pour your heart out on my floor
Then what are friends for

If it's not the laughs the tears the screams
The ups and downs
And in betweens
The growing up
The misery
Then I don't know what friends are for
If it's not the laughs the tears the screams
The ups and downs
And in betweens
The growing up
The bittersweet
Then I don't know what friends are for

Even if it's 2 AM
And you said you wouldn't cry again
You can show up at my door and pour your heart out on my floor
Why are you not on your way
Just 10 minutes on the interstate
If you can't show up at my door
And pour your heart out on my floor
Then what are friends for
