You shared all your secrets and I set them all free
The look on your face says, "I'm only helping me"
And I can be blind
And that is my curse
Now I know I saw from those who matter most
Friends first

Friends first
When the seconds count
Friends first
When the tension's mild

When your turn is up and the chips are down
Couldn't see before, I get it now
Friends first
Friends first

Loving you more than a song or a grade
I know and accept all the mistakes I've made
'Cause you are my future and you my past
This won't be the only and it won't be the last
Friends first

Friends first
When the seconds count
Friends first
When the tension's mild
When your turn is up and the chips are down
I was missing something, but I get it now
Friends first
