My Best Friend, My Superman
[Verse 1]
You was my best friend first
Same cracked jokes, same hurt
Same dead-end days
Same dirt on our work shirts
I never meant to fall
Just leaned on you for air
Then your name got bright
Like a match in my prayer
You looked at me like truth
Not a wound, not a chore
Like you knew my heart
Was a locked-back door
[Pre-Chorus]
And when my hands shook
You stayed calm
When my faith ran thin
You were strong
I thought peace was gone
For good
Then your love hit me
Like it should
[Chorus]
My best friend, my Superman
You caught me with both hands
My best friend, my other half
Your soul kept calling back
When I was burning up inside
You were the reason I survived
My best friend, my Superman
You caught me with both hands
[Verse 2]
I had fire in my throat
Loss heavy in my chest
Loneliness took names
And pain never let me rest
I swore no one could stay
No one could understand
Then you held my face
Like you knew the plan
You were the calm in the wreck
The breath in the smoke
The light in the room
When I thought all hope was broke
[Pre-Chorus]
And when I shut that door
You waited
When I fell apart
You made it
I didn't know my soul
Had a sound
Till yours reached mine
And pulled me out
[Chorus]
My best friend, my Superman
You caught me with both hands
My best friend, my other half
Your soul kept calling back
When I was burning up inside
You were the reason I survived
My best friend, my Superman
You caught me with both hands
[Verse 3]
You learned all my silence
Every word I couldn't say
You never asked for perfect
You just chose to stay
Every little memory
Still plays inside my mind
Late-night drives and laughing
Leaving all the dark behind
If I ever lose my way
If my hope begins to fade
I'll remember how you loved me
And the promises we made
[Pre-Chorus]
When the rain came down
You stayed near
Turned my doubt
Into something clear
Every broken part of me
Found a place to land
The moment I was safe
Inside your hands
[Chorus]
My best friend, my Superman
You caught me with both hands
My best friend, my other half
Your soul kept calling back
When I was burning up inside
You were the reason I survived
My best friend, my Superman
You caught me with both hands
[Bridge]
I thought love would come
Like a crash
But it came as you
And it lasted
Not a rescue song
Not a scene
Just your quiet heart
And my broken dreams
Every scar has turned to proof
That love can tell the truth
Every tear I cried before
Doesn't own me anymore
You showed me who I am
When I couldn't understand
You never let me disappear
You always pulled me near
[Instrumental Break]
(Guitar solo)
[Verse 4]
Years from now I'll still remember
How your smile changed my life
How a simple conversation
Turned into forever's light
If the seasons keep on changing
If our hair turns silver gray
I'll still reach to hold your hand
Like I do today
You're the home I never found
Till you looked into my eyes
Now forever isn't scary
It's just where our future lies
[Final
