FRIENDSHIP TRUE.
You've been hurt so often in this life
By those who you thought cared
I can see the sadness in your eyes
Can see how much you're scared
To give your heart just one more time
To let somebody in
To feel the depths of love again
To have it all begin.
You hide your caring deep inside
Beneath a toughened skin
No one but me can see the man
That really lies within.
Wish I could take the pain away
Wish I could heal your heart
Wish I could break through your defence
And let the healing start
For I've felt sadness such as yours
So I understand your pain
But someone broke down my defence
So I could start again
You accepted me for me
You loved me as I am
You gave me friendship with no strings
You looked and saw the man
You didn't see the anger
That hid my soul from view
You looked way past the act I used
And offered friendship true
I took the hand you offered me
And held it to my heart
Felt the warmth inside of you
Of you became a part
You filled a place so empty
For oh so many years
Since the day my Father died
And I cried a million tears
And from that day you've held me close
Whenever things got bad
Whenever things became too much
Whenever I was sad
You've been more than a friend to me
You've been more as a brother
I only know that deep inside
I love you as no other
So let me help you this one time
Let me ease the pain
Then kiss goodbye to Gillian
So we can start again.
