[Verse 1]
I made a choice I can't undo;
The hurt reached further than I knew.
I sat there staring at the floor,
Half sure you'd show me to the door.

You let me talk, you let me cry,
And looked me straight back in the eye.
Then, when I'd nothing left to say,
You asked, "Still coming Saturday?"

[Chorus]
Here's to the friends who know the score
And still come knocking at my door.
You share a joke, you share a meal,
And ask me how I really feel.

And when I doubt I'll see this through,
I borrow some belief from you.
You keep me honest, save my seat,
And give me time to find my feet.

[Verse 2]
Some days I still get lost in doubt;
You say, "Shoes on. We're going out."
You know when I need time to sit,
And when to say, "Get on with it."

Regret alone won't see me through;
You ask what I'm prepared to do.
I'm not there yet, but now I see
There's still a future left for me.

[Chorus]
Here's to the friends who know the score
And still come knocking at my door.
You share a joke, you share a meal,
And ask me how I really feel.

And when I doubt I'll see this through,
I borrow some belief from you.
You keep me honest, save my seat,
And give me time to find my feet.

[Bridge - quiet, building]
And when it's you who needs a friend,
I'll stay and listen to the end.
I'll give you time, I'll give you space;
You'll never have to earn your place.

[Final Chorus - full band, backing voices]
Here's to the friends who know the score
And still come knocking at my door.
The work is mine. I'll see it through;
I know I can because of you.

[Band drops back - lead vocal]
You know the truth I'd rather hide,
The hurt, the choice, the blame.
You pull a chair up by your side,
And love me just the same.
