(Verse 1)
People talk and make their guesses,
Saying you don't really care.
They see the silence in between us,
And assume that you're not there.
But they don't see behind the curtain,
They don't know the truth I keep.
You’re the one who checks on me
When the world has gone to sleep.
(Chorus)
It’s quite the opposite, don't you see?
Nobody sacrifices time like you for me.
When I go quiet and the night gets dark,
You’re the one who worries, holding up the spark.
In a world of noise, you stand so clear,
A steady hand, a friend so dear.
(Verse 2)
You give up hours just to listen,
You give up comfort just to stay.
When everybody else moves onward,
You never turn and walk away.
I count the people on one hand
Who give the respect that you bestow,
Only two others in this life
Hold me with a love that deep and true.
(Chorus)
It’s quite the opposite, don't you see?
Nobody sacrifices time like you for me.
When I go quiet and the night gets dark,
You’re the one who worries, holding up the spark.
In a world of noise, you stand so clear,
A steady hand, a friend so dear.
(Bridge)
You're a good friend, the best I've known,
With you, I'm never left alone.
You sacrifice, you understand,
And hold my world inside your hand.
(Outro)
My best friend through the calm and storm,
The one who keeps the shelter warm.
It’s quite the opposite of what they say...
You’re here for me, day after day.
