Kind of Friend I'Ll Be

Kind Of Friend I'll Be

I know I'm not the man you want or as you say, the man you need.
If I thought it'd make a difference I'd get on my knees and plead.
But I know how the story goes if that's how it should start.
Somewhere down the road again I'd have a broken heart.

You don't see me as a lover but you love me as a friend.
The funny thing about my heart it'll break before it'll bend.
I set my hopes too high once more I don't know why I do it.
Just one more long and lonely night I'm not sure I'll make it through it.

But if I do and if I can then tomorrow we will see.
As I try with all my might to be the kind of friend I'll be.
The kind that thinks about you as I look up at the skies.
The kind that rushes to you to dry tears from your eyes.

The kind of friend that stands by you and helps you to be strong.
The kind of friend that hopes someday you'll see that you were wrong.
Still I pray for the happiness and the joy I hope you find.
Just know you have a friend somewhere with you on his heart and mind.
