lyrics

front a fake smile for the camera lenses

rolled solo with the consequences

mouth shut, lips sealed and glued

trying to get rid of the scent of you.

bitten lip on the front porch step back

convincing smile. faded, set back

stood up clean, like nothing even happened

hidden well, a somewhat self inflicted hell

Oh Skylar

no one wants to beat you up while you're down.

Outsider.

You don’t wanna open up but I'll be around.

don’t you know

that this is what bestfriends are for.

this is what bestfriends are for.

took the car out for a drive cause

it's easy to forget that you’re still alive

when you barely sleep and wake too late

and try to make them proud for your parents sake

You’re sick of hearing that we’ve been there done that

but I’d do anything to get you to come back home

come back home.

hidden well, a somewhat self inflicted hell

everyone needs space everyone needs space

but I know when you’re not what you say and not okay.

everyone needs space everyone needs space

but I know when you’re not okay and you’re not okay.

oh skylar

you don’t have to say it I already know

oh skylar

you put on a poker face but I fold.

don’t you know

this is what best friends are for.
