We Kept Each Other Standing

[Verse 1]
You showed up with the same old scar
Different shape
Same kind of mark
Coffee cups and shaking hands
You laughed first so I could understand

[Pre-Chorus]
We told the truth in little pieces
Let the silence fill the spaces
I saw myself inside your eyes
And it finally felt alright

[Chorus]
We kept each other standing
When the ground was giving way
You held my heart so gently
Like you knew it broke that day
All the storms we walked through
Somehow made us brighter
We were strangers in the dark
Now we’re friends that hold the fire
We kept each other standing

[Verse 2]
You text “you up?” at 2 a.m
I don’t ask
I just let you in
Make up on your pillowcase
You say “I’m fine
” I see your face

[Pre-Chorus]
We trade the stories we survived
Every tear
A proof of life
Side by side on my worn floor
We are not alone anymore

[Chorus]
We kept each other standing
When the ground was giving way
You held my heart so gently
Like you knew it broke that day
All the storms we walked through
Somehow made us brighter
We were strangers in the dark
Now we’re friends that hold the fire
We kept each other standing

[Bridge]
If the world forgets your name
I’ll be there to say it louder (louder)
If your past comes back again
I’ll be right here
Getting prouder (of you)

[Chorus]
We kept each other standing
When the ground was giving way
You held my heart so gently
Like you knew it broke that day
All the storms we walked through
Only pulled us closer
Two girls with the same old scars
Now we’re writing something softer
We kept each other standing (standing)
We kept each other standing
