Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

In the good times and hard
I can still feel Your heart
Beating right next to mine
Where You've been the whole time

Chorus

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

Outro

Good friend good friend
Good friend to me
Good friend good friend
Good friend to me
