Friends Don't
Navigating the Maze of Friendship: Julie Miller's 'Friends Don't' Insights
Lyrics
I've got a lot to say
I have a lot on my mind.
But I won't say it
I choose not to express it verbally.
I've got places to go
I have places to go.
You said a lot to me
You spoke extensively to me.
But did you mean it?
Did your words carry genuine intent?
I'm starting to wanna know
I'm becoming curious and want to understand.
Friends don't run when they get too close
Real friends don't distance themselves when things get too close emotionally.
Friends don't call my phone when they get too drunk
True friends don't call me in a drunken state.
Friends don't, and I know, you know, we talk how friends don't
We discuss things in a way that goes against the norm of friendship.
You drive down my road just how friends don't
Your actions don't align with typical friendly behavior when you drive down my road.
Just how friends don't
Actions contrary to how friends usually behave.
Just how friends don't
Behaviors that deviate from the norm of friendship.
It's funny now when I think about it
Reflecting on past events, it seems amusing now.
Especially the words you said
Especially considering the words you spoke.
You get on my last nerve
You irritate me significantly.
I start holding back my words
I start to withhold my thoughts and words.
You say, "I like it like that"
You express a liking for the situation.
You say, "I like it like that"
You confirm your preference for things as they are.
Friends don't run when they get too close
True friends don't back away when emotional closeness increases.
Friends don't call my phone when they get too drunk
Genuine friends don't contact me in a state of intoxication.
Friends don't, and I know, you know, we talk how friends don't
We converse in a manner inconsistent with typical friendships.
You drive down my road just how friends don't
Your actions, like driving down my road, deviate from what friends usually do.
You do a lot of things that friends don't
You engage in behaviors that are not characteristic of true friendship.
Just how friends don't
Actions contrary to the expected norms of friendship.
Just how friends don't
Behaviors inconsistent with the usual conduct of friends.
Just how friends don't
Actions that diverge from the typical behaviors of friends.
Just how friends don't
