[Verse 1]
A new BFF, best friends forever
Forever's a stretch 'cause I kinda resent her
'Cause she hurt me like no one else could
And I tried to forgive and forget like I should
But she's so optimistic and so opportunist
A snake in the grass, tell me, how does she do it?
And now I'm confused, thought friends have your back
She's always making passive-aggressive attacks
[Chorus]
Tell me, what are friends for?
What are friends for?
Oh
[Verse 2]
Well, we like to take turns playing the victim
And passing the blame, but there's a big difference
In being mean and malicious or mad
And I wish I could take it all back
But remember the good times we had
Was it real, did I misunderstand?
[Chorus]
What are friends for?
What are friends for?
[Verse 3]
Friends should be loyal, honest, and kind
Thought that was us, never me, never mind
I'll admit that I miss you, but we won't reach out
We're too stubborn, too broken to ever find out
[Chorus]
What are friends for?
What are friends for?
Mm

Girl drama is a real thing, and I love how that song captures the experience of feeling frustrated and betrayed and guilty all at the same time.
