Right before you lit my sky up

My advice is to always ruin the friendship

Better that than regret it for all time

I like that it makes reference to Abigail, her high school friend who she mentions in other songs. oh my! Edit: She talks about a love interest from high school that passed :(

"Good thing I like my friends Cancelled"

"I just want you, huh

Have a couple kids, got the whole block lookin' like you"

Interesting.....

Good song
