Check On Your Friends Lyrics by Kelsea Ballerini
Check on your friends that are smilin’
They’re the ones cryin’
When they’re home and it’s late
The ones that the life of the party
Up with the DJ, up on the drugs that they take
Pretty in the photo for sure
Pretty in the app, pretty not good at being alone
Struggling and nobody knows
‘Cause she’s so good, all glitter when she picks up the phone
So, check on your friends that are smilin’
They’re the ones cryin’
Check on your friends that are smilin’
They’re the ones dyin’
Funny with self-deprecatin’ jokes that she’s makin’
Hopes that they take it at face
Spark in her eyes like an actress
Hidin’ the fact that her heart’s all up in flames
Pretty in the photo for sure
Pretty far from the girl that she was when she was 24
Another plane to Paris for the allure
Deep down terrified of going home and shutting the door
Check on your friends that are smilin’
They’re the ones cryin’
Check on your friends that are smilin’
(When they’re checkin’ out)
Check on your friends and your lovers
Fathers and mothers
Check on yourself, okay?
We all got the downers and uppers
Yeah, we all wonder
But it’s better if you stay
It can snow in the summer for sure
But when it’s coming down real bad
Baby, I got a coat
Strugglin’, I see it, I know
You can take the cape and the makeup off
Let it pour
Check on your friends that are smilin’
They’re the ones cryin’
Check on your friends that are smilin’
They’re the ones dyin’
Check on your friends
Check on your friends
Check on your friends
When they’re home but it’s late
Check on your friends
Check on your friends
Check on your friends
Check on yourself, okay
I sit in parks
To see just how far I am
From the things that I want
