Not as good as Ellie (v2)

[Verse 1]

Lake walks in with a thundercloud grin

Turns every little win into a battle to win

She borrows my jacket, then calls it her own

Leaves a half-read message buzzing my phone

[Pre-Chorus]

But I know a better name when the room gets loud

Ellie brings the sunshine, Ellie stands out from the crowd

[Chorus]

Lake, you’re a mean friend, always throwing little knives

Ellie’s got a good heart, makes the whole room come alive

Lake, you can keep your drama, keep your cold pretend

You’re not as good as Ellie, and that’s where this ends

[Verse 2]

Lake says, “Trust me,” then she changes the plan

Makes a joke at my expense and laughs with her hands

Ellie checks in quietly, remembers what I said

Shows up when the day goes sideways in my head

[Pre-Chorus]

No contest, no debate, no need to count to three

Ellie makes it easy being who I want to be

[Chorus]

Lake, you’re a mean friend, always throwing little knives

Ellie’s got a good heart, makes the whole room come alive

Lake, you can keep your drama, keep your cold pretend

You’re not as good as Ellie, and that’s where this ends

[Bridge]

Maybe Lake will learn that kindness isn’t weak

Maybe she’ll stop making every conversation bleak

Till then, Ellie and I are taking the long way home

With a laugh, a borrowed playlist, and a world of our own

[Final Chorus]

Lake, you’re a mean friend, but I’m done with your disguise

Ellie’s got the real thing shining in her eyes

Lake, you can keep your drama, this is where we draw the line

You’re not as good as Ellie, and Ellie’s got my side

[Outro]

Not as good as Ellie

No, not this time

Ellie’s got my side
