Getting close to you, felt like being the chosen one
A different frequency surrounded us
I needed nobody, or at least that's what I thought
As I counted on our secret bond
From the moment that I saw you, I
Wanted to be the one that you admire
We shared our talents and our hopes and dreams
Like wine of a sacred kind
But we were friends and rivals
Rivals
Rivals
Oh, rivals
When one was shining, the other was always
Trying to steal the show
Yeah, we were friends and rivals
Rivals
Rivals
Oh, rivals
It's a constant fight to feel that
Love's just not unconditional
Not unconditional
We couldn't wait for chasing highs and getting bruised
All my memories of reckless youth, I made with you
And our connection went from being as thick as thieves
To the day you started ghosting me out of the blue
You saw potential that was slumbering in me
Hidden so deeply I myself could not yet see
You said, "It isn't worth the pain"
That I could fail if I tried to succeed
Yeah, we were friends and rivals
Rivals
Rivals
Oh, rivals
When one was shining, the other was always
Trying to steal the show
Yeah, we were friends and rivals
Rivals
Rivals
Oh, rivals
It's a constant fight to feel that
Love's just not unconditional
Friends don't hurt each other all the time
Friends don't walk away when things go right
But we would be so critical to keep each other small
Helped me grow each time you challenged me
Challenges turned into rivalry
And from a tiny hole our fabric dissolved
Friends and rivals
Rivals
Rivals
Oh, rivals
Friends and rivals
Rivals
Rivals
Oh, rivals
