Erin Greider writes about heartbreak and the painful possibilities of what may have lived on after a relationship ends. "We Could've Been Friends" is about the small intimacies that disappear when someone becomes a stranger, favorite songs, film recommendations, understanding someone's mind. The wistful chorus turns the loss into an unanswerable question. "If you weren't the worst / We could've been friends," sings Greider. But the song is about the lies and manipulation that kept us from reconciliation. Greider’s cool delivery gives the heartbreak weight; the track is thoughtful, wounded, and ultimately clear-eyed.
