Bellows - My Best Friend lyrics

Trinkets on string
That you'd tied to a twig
Still hanging on the wall of our house
Couldn’t really figure it out
Why would you leave just
That one little piece?
Better it's now I let you know
Better it's now I let you know

Sometimes I’d feel
There's a secret you keep
Like you never thought I would notice
Never thought I would notice
Comes up in pauses in sentences, raw
Better it's now I let you know
Better it's now I let you know

No mattеr the need
Or the distance bеtween us
Thought you would find me
Speechless and writhing?
I'd say it's all good cuz you know
That I would
Do anything to defend my best friend
Do anything to defend my best friend

Nippin' at toes on the gravelly road
Gotta watch out for ticks, ya know
Gotta check Frankie's paws at home
In passing reminders I grasp at our life
Better it’s now we keep it quiet
But I can’t let go
Better it's now we keep it quiet
But I can’t let go

No matter the need
I couldn't burn down this house alone
No leaf in the breeze
I couldn't sweep my own floor alone
Not sick with disease
I couldn't tend to myself in bed
Not any of these:

No matter the need
Or the distance between us
Thought you would find me
Speechless and writhing?
Thought I would cave?
Thought I’d wither and rage?
That I'd rot and decay?
It's been always this way:
I would do anything
To defend you, my friend
Do anything to defend you, my friend
