The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Best Friends" by the artist "Weeknd, The"

In "Best Friends," The Weeknd navigates a complicated relationship with a girl who desires more than friendship. The speaker values their bond, describing it as "solid" and having survived "toxic love." He acknowledges that she's become his best friend but fears a romantic entanglement. The speaker doesn't want to be responsible for her heart, afraid of breaking it. He recognizes that their closeness could lead to deeper feelings, something he's actively trying to avoid.

The post-chorus emphasizes the shifting dynamic: friends with benefits is no longer an option as the girl craves more. Ultimately, the speaker draws a boundary, reiterating that she is his best friend, and he doesn't want to jeopardize their friendship.

[Chorus:]

Oh what we got

Baby what we got

Is secure, been a part of toxic love

It tore us apart

Things you want, I'm not looking for

You're my best friend now

You're my best friend now

Oh I don't want

To be responsible for your heart if we fall

‘Cause I'll get clumsy and tear it apart

I love you so

But we can't get close

You're my best friend now

You're my best friend now

[Verse 1:]

Ohh, I love it when we climax

And I would never burn you

I could never hurt you

If we do it like that

Don't try to take it further

Focus on the friendship

Getting a little side tracked

Catching little feelings

Thought we had arrangements

I thought you weren't like that

Yeah, I thought you weren't like that

[Pre-Chorus:]

Ohh, friends no more

Sex as friends no more

You don't wanna have sex as friends no more

Friends no more

Ohh, friends no more

Sex as friends no more

You don't wanna have sex as friends no more

[Chorus:]

Oh what we got (oh yeah)

Baby what we got

Is secure, been a part of toxic love

It tore us apart

Things you want, I'm not looking for (I'm not searching)

You're my best friend now (Oh baby)

You're my best friend now

Oh I don't want

To be responsible for your heart if we fall

‘Cause I'll get clumsy and tear it apart

I love you so

But we can't get close

You're my best friend now (best friend now)

You're my best friend now (best friend now)
