[Verse 1] I still remember Tuesday afternoons Your laugh spilling over coffee going cold You knew my stories before I could tell them Saw the cracks I tried to hide, made me whole Never thought a hand could fit like this in mine Never knew that safety had a name [Pre-Chorus] All those years I was searching somewhere else You were standing right beside me all along [Chorus] You were my friend when I needed ground beneath me Now you're the reason my heart knows how to fly Every scar you've seen, every tear you've dried I'm yours completely, for the rest of my life From friend to forever, you're my answered prayer The one who stayed, the one who'll always care [Verse 2] I trace the moments that led me here to you Late-night phone calls when the world felt too heavy You never asked me to be more than I was Loved the mess, the questions, all of it already Now your heartbeat's the only sound I need Your arms the only place I call home [Pre-Chorus] All those years I was looking past the truth You were everything I dreamed of all along [Chorus] You were my friend when I needed ground beneath me Now you're the reason my heart knows how to fly Every scar you've seen, every tear you've dried I'm yours completely, for the rest of my life From friend to forever, you're my answered prayer The one who stayed, the one who'll always care [Bridge] I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of love But I'll spend every sunrise proving I'm enough You turned ordinary into extraordinary Made a believer out of me [Chorus] You were my friend when I needed ground beneath me Now you're the reason my heart knows how to fly Every scar you've seen, every tear you've dried I'm yours completely, for the rest of my life From friend to forever, you're my answered prayer The one who stayed, the one who'll always care [Outro] The one who stayed My friend, my love, my always Forever starts today
