Friends
[Verse 1] She was 21 with a apprenticeship on the way On the west-side of the city, she was working every day Cleaning people 'till the evening, she could barely stay awake She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change And, across town she'd take the bus at night to her parents apartment And then she'd turn on the light She would sit down at the table Tell herself that it's alright She was waiting on the day that she hoped some friends would arrive She'll never be alone Have someone to hold And when nights were cold, she'd say
[Chorus] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad If we got each other and that's all we have I will be your friend and I'll hold your hand You should know we'll be there for you And the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other then we all be fine I will be your friend and I'll hold your hand You should know we'll be there for you
[Verse 2] he is 22 and was living out his days on the east-side of the city next to where he was born He has pictures on the walls of all the memories that he made And his life was never easy, he was thankful that he stayed alive even though some times were hard Even when he made his friends angry he would never break her heart And he didn't have the money to afford a fancy car But he never had to drive 'cause his friends didn't split apart Even at the end, his heart was stronger then the day that they first met he says
[Chorus] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad If we got each other and that's all we have I will be your friend and I'll hold your hand You should know we'll be there for you And the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll all be fine I will be your friend and I'll hold your hand You should know we'll be there for you
[Bridge] You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 3] I'm 23 and my wounds are getting old I know i don't have forever and I'm not scared to be alone So I'm thankful for my friends even though sometimes we fight When my life wasn't easy, they're the reason I survived I know they'd never leave me And I hate to see them cry So I wrote this verse to tell them that I'm always by their side I wrote this verse to tell them that I'm always by their side I wrote this verse to tell them that
[Chorus] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad If we got each other and that's all we have I will be your friend and I'll hold your hand You should know we'll be there for you And the world's not perfect When the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll all be fine I will be your friend and I'll hold your hand You should know we'll be there for you
[Outro] You should I know I'll be there for you
