Counting on Real Friends

[Intro]
Scrolling through the faces, endless feeds,
A digital parade where everyone precedes.
[Verse 1]
Light up my screen, they all look so bright,
But when the darkness falls, who’s gonna fight?
Behind the screens, it’s a masquerade,
Only a few stand tall when foundations fade.
[Pre-Chorus]
Counting likes and shares, the data we chase,
But when real life hits, it’s an empty race.
[Chorus]
Thousands on the timeline, but when it all goes down,
You only need one hand to count the ones around.
They say friends are forever, but forever seems so far,
In the moments that matter, you know who they are.
[Verse 2]
We parade as avatars, chasing the trend,
Unsure of the lines that our hearts might bend.
In the chaos of noise, who hears your call?
When the chips are down, who can take the fall?
[Pre-Chorus]
Fake smiles, lost words, drowning in the stream,
But it’s the bond of a few that keeps us in the dream.
[Chorus]
Thousands on the timeline, but when it all goes down,
You only need one hand to count the ones around.
They say friends are forever, but forever seems so far,
In the moments that matter, you know who they are.
[Bridge]
So hold on tight to the ones that stay,
Through storms and silence, they won’t fade away.
Unfiltered laughter, undeniable grace,
The real ones will always hold their place.
[Outro]
So when you scroll those hundreds, remember this song,
The treasure’s not in the numbers, but in where they belong.
When the world feels heavy, they lift you high,
The real friends are few, but they never say goodbye.
