Midnight, soul tired in the burnout
Couldn’t get back up from the knockdown
I was thinking it was over
But you didn’t let go

There were times when I lied straight to your face
Turning back to the style of my old ways
But you only held me closer
And you didn't let go

You’ve always been a friend to me
When everybody else walked away
You’ve always been a friend to me
I know for certain that you’re here to stay
Even when I don’t act right, it don’t change your love

I don’t have to doubt it because
You’ve always been a friend to me
You’ve always been a friend to me
A good friend to me

Heart broke into a million pieces
So used to everybody leaving
You’re the only one who knows me
In the moments that count

Always there for me right when I need it
There were times when I just couldn’t believe it
Yeah, I know it took a minute
But I realize now

You’ve always been a friend to me
When everybody else walked away
You’ve always been a friend to me
I know for certain that you’re here to stay
Even when I don’t act right, it don’t change your love

I don’t have to doubt it because
You’ve always been a friend to me
You’ve always been a friend to me
A good friend to me

In the good times and hard
I can still feel your heart
Beating right next to mine
Where you’ve been the whole time

You’ve always been a friend to me
When everybody else walked away
You’ve always been a friend to me
I know for certain that you’re here to stay
Even when I don’t act right, it don’t change your love

I don’t have to doubt it because
You’ve always been a friend to me
You’ve always been a friend to me
A good friend to me
