• You've been there since the beginning,
    When things weren't yet thinning.
    You were still there
    When things got worse.
    Through thick and thin,
    You've been at my side,
    Boasting our friendship with brotherly pride.
    I'm glad for you,
    For you being there...
    I didn't realize how much you cared.

    Thank you for being my friend,
    Being my friend till the end.
    I'm afraid that this may be it,
    Though we still have yet to split.
    It doesn't matter what they say.
    I really, really can't break away.
    I've been pushed towards this direction,
    Since I realized we had a connection.

    They may be trying to break us apart
    And I really don't want the fire to start.
    It seems that now,
    We have grown closer.
    This issue they have made,
    It's beginning to create a blockade...
    Not between us but in my mind.
    Oh, you're so kind!

    Thank you for being my friend,
    Being my friend till the end.
    I'm afraid that this may be it,
    Though we still have yet to split.
    It doesn't matter what they say.
    I really, really can't break away.
    I want you to stay...
    My friend.

    I respect you,
    You respect me.
    Oh, why can't they see?
    We are only friends,
    No need to make amends.
    When you hug me,
    I understand
    That you'll always be there...
    Thank you for being my friend.

    Staring up at the stars at night,
    I wonder if this is right,
    If we should be ripped apart,
    The equivalent of ripping a heart...
    Will you be able to pick me up
    When I fall down again?
    Their patience is wearing thin...
    As if we've done some sin.
    So much as a grin
    Might make their minds spin.

    I don't want to lose you;
    Seems like a Catch-22,
    Even when we say "I love you."
    From their point of view,
    It looks all untrue.
    It's more like "Says who?"
    We'll be friends through and through.
    No matter what happens...
    I'll always love you.

    Thank you for being my friend.
