Verse 1

We knew the shortcut past the old school gate

Shared one umbrella when the buses ran late

You called me first with every little win

I hid the trembling underneath my grin

We learned each other’s coffee orders by heart

Kept all our secrets folded in the dark

Somewhere between the jokes and borrowed time

Your hand in mine felt almost like a sign

Pre-Chorus

I waited for the sentence you never said

While you were making plans inside your head

Chorus

We were more than friends, but never quite enough

I carried all the pieces of our almost-love

You wore a silver ring beneath the chapel sun

And I smiled like a sister while my heart came undone
