Only You Were There

Your were there ...

In the worse of times.

Your were there in the very best.

You were there when I cried.

My head buried deep into your chest.

Th tears and whimpers and sighs...

 

And you were there when the sky fell.

The true love of a friend.

Even when I was in hell.

And you were there no matter how many times I died.

You never faltered to the end.

You picked me back up and made me stand.

The true love of a friend.

 

And it didn't matter how far or low I fell.

You didn't make me feel less of a man.

You were there to make me well.

The true love of a friend.

 

And when everyone else would pass judgement.

As plain as the eye could see.

The only two left standing. Was just you and only me.

You gave me strength and honor...

When no one gave me slack.

And sniped and back-stabbed and ridiculed...

Behind my hurting back.

You were there when I contemplated suicide.

And because of your love.... I'm still here..

I'm alive...

The true love of a friend.

 

Only cause you cared.

Only...

You were there.

The true love of a friend.
