Lyrics

verse one:
I was at my worst, makin' no sense at all.
Rollin' up everything I'd ever done right,
Smashin' it against the wall.
Out of control, way too loud,
And downright rude-
A walking definition of a really bad attitude.
verse two:
Full of myself-everything was all about me.
Thinkin' that I was doin' anything wrong
Was not a possibility.
It must've been hard
Puttin' up with me back then.
No one else saw any future
In bein' my best friend.
chorus:
Any other kid
Woulda cut out on the double,
Said I wasn't worth the trouble,
And left me there.
But that's not what you did-
You stayed and talked me through it.
You cared enough to do it.
You're not just any other kid.
verse three:
When the dust all cleared,
You and me, eye to eye.
Maybe I didn't have a single excuse,
But I had a lotta reasons why.
The minute you stayed
And let me pour them out,
I got a whole new understanding
Of what all this might be about.
(repeat chorus)
bridge:
If you should ever need someone
The way I needed you,
I hope that I turn out to be
As good a friend as you were to me.
(repeat chorus)
