Thanks for being there for me
Whenever I feel sad
And, for when I'm crying,
Telling me it's not so bad

I'm frightened by this lonely place
That, for now, is my home
And even with the people here
I always feel alone

But, somehow, when I met you
I just knew that we'd be friends
From the first time that you told me
It'll work out in the end

You fill my heart with sunshine
When my eyes are red with tears
And every time you smile at me
You take away my fears

Thanks for being there for me
For everything you've done
And thanks for being what you are
Our friendship's just begun
