Never Know Who You're Friends Are Lyrics

Took some time for self-inspection
I felt it was time to move on
Waking up in nothing but remorse
Was killing me.

I guess I must have let you down
Sorry if you were depending on me
But I'm moving on
Sorry if you were leaning on me and you fell
But I had to look out for myself.

Did you know, did you care?
That you left my stranded out there
Left alone in the cold
I found a way to make it on my own

I guess I must have let you down
Sorry if you were depending on me
But I'm moving on
Sorry if you were leaning on me and you fell
But I had to look out for myself.

Did you wonder how I did it?
Do you wonder how I made it on my own?
(x4)

Oh yeah, I'm doing just fine
So thanks for asking.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about having a friend that ends up doing nothing but weighing you down; & as much as you would like to stay & help him out, you have to do what's best for you. Though he's sorry for having to leave a friend behind, he knows what's best.

Love the song :)

this friend was doing nothing but hurting them. probably from just not being there. like they were being put beneath others. "do you wonder how I made it on my own" proves that the friend thinks he needs him. and inspite of the friend being.. well a bad friend, he is still sorry he's leaving because they used to be close and its hard to let go, but he kind of throws it back in his friends face in the last two lines.
