Verse 1
It was always around eleven
When my phone would start to ring
"Have you eaten yet?" you'd ask
Before asking anything
I'd laugh and say, "I'm good."
You'd laugh like you knew better
Then we'd talk about nothing at all...
Somehow I'd sleep better.
Pre-Chorus
You never tried to fix me.
Never needed all the words.
You just kept showing up...
When the whole world hurt.
Chorus
You were the friend that got me through
When I couldn't get there on my own
One small call... one long drive...
One place that felt like home
You'll never know those little things
Were bigger than you knew...
You were the friend...
That got me through.
Verse 2
You'd pick me up on Sundays
When the walls got way too loud
Windows down, no destination
Just enough to leave the house
We talked about your future
Mine was hard to see
Funny how you carried hope...
Until it reached me.
Pre-Chorus
You never had the answers.
You never had a plan.
You just stayed beside me...
Like only good friends can.
Chorus
You were the friend that got me through
When I couldn't get there on my own
One small call... one long drive...
One place that felt like home
You'll never know those little things
Were bigger than you knew...
You were the friend...
That got me through.
Bridge (music strips back)
Looking back...
I don't think you ever knew.
Somewhere between the late-night calls...
And the long drives...
I quietly fell for you.
But you never led me on.
You never crossed that line.
I'd rather keep the friend who saved me...
Than lose you trying to make you mine.
Final Chorus
You were the friend that got me through
Before I knew I'd make it through
It wasn't one big moment
It was a thousand things you'd do
A simple "Have you eaten?"
A ride when I couldn't breathe
You gave me back tomorrow...
Without expecting anything.
(music drops)
You'll probably never know...
What you did for me.
You were the friend...
That got me through.
