I Am the Best Friend

Who's going to be there when I fall?

Will I be alone or surrounded by all?

I desperately want to feel what they've all felt

To know what it's like to have pain melt.

So far though, I'm just the best friend.

Always there when the guy's love is at an end.

Open arms, constantly open arms

Mind, heart, soul, open to the world.

But so many just turn away.

I know I'm not especially gorgeous

Nor am I unbelievably fantastic to be around.

Yet I know I can't be so horrible either

Foolish? Yes. Dimwitted? Yes.

And many, many more, but not horrible.

I'm a nerd, a loser, a romantic thinker

Even still those aren't that bad are they?

Perfect friend is the only name they've given me.

So where is Prince Charming?

I keep waiting for m high school sweet heart

Although I'm beginning to believe he doesn't exist.

Look at me! For goodness sakes LOOK AT ME!

Don't I make you feel safe & happy?

When you're falling apart, isn't it me who makes it better?

Now can't you do the same for me,

Or am I destined to be alone?

Who's going to be there when I fall?

Will I be alone, or surrounded by all?

I desperately want to feel what they've all felt

To know what it's like to have my pain melt.

But all I am is just the best friend

Always & forever I'll be here, until the end.

Open arms, constantly open & loving arms

Broken hear, filled mind, deep soul, open to the world.
