Friend
Kaitlyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aren't friends anymore
I left all their baggage on the steps
Outside my door
They'll come and get it
I hope they will
Or they'll keep ghosting
So they don't have to feel
Was never meant
No, no no no
I'm sorry but I can't be a shallow friend
'Cause you don't know me
And you don't care to
'Cause you would show me
And that's the honest truth
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh ooh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh ooh oh whoo oh
And still all those so called friends
Aren't friends anymore
I left all their baggage on the steps
Outside my door
They'll come and get it
I hope they will
Or they'll keep ghosting
So they don't have to feel

@anthonybegyn6123
Love it too but definitely, the title is innapropriate, the girl accept the guy for who he is, despite his weirdness, she doesn't care about his defaults, i know we can do a lot for friends but the way she describes him, the softness in the refrain made me thin she actually loves him, after all, soulmates can be both companions and friends, ironically, that song is played in A Cinderella Story when Austin & Sam have their first kiss.
